VMFS Recovery™ is a data recovery tool for VMware ESX/ESXi, vSphere, and virtual machine disks, provided by VMFSRecover.com and teams associated with DiskInternals. It is designed for high-risk operations scenarios such as inaccessible VMFS datastores, lost or damaged VMDK files, RAID array failures, and ESXi volumes that cannot be mounted. Strictly speaking, it is not a typical subscription-based SaaS product, but rather locally installed software combined with remote recovery services.
The product supports VMFS 3/4/5/6 and claims to handle partitions up to 64TB, files larger than 2TB, and environments with very large numbers of files. It can recover various types of disk images from VMware, Hyper-V, VirtualBox, Parallels, QEMU, Oracle VDI, EnCase/ProDiscover, and others, while also supporting file systems such as NTFS, ReFS, EXT, XFS, ZFS, BtrFS, APFS, and HFS+. Its built-in RAID Recovery is a key feature, supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10, JBOD, Storage Spaces, LVM, RAID-Z, and more, with the ability to attempt array reconstruction when the controller is damaged or inaccessible. For remote recovery scenarios, it can access ESXi servers via SSH or iSCSI, and it can mount VMDK files before recovery to preview file integrity.
The website does not disclose specific software license pricing, offering only download and purchase links. Remote data recovery services are priced more clearly: RAID arrays requiring manual reconstruction start at a base fee of $300 plus $150 per disk, with a 4-disk array example priced at $900. The service also states “No data, no money” and offers a 30-day refund period. The Demo version can preview the contents of recovered VMDK files, but it is not clear whether free data export is allowed.
Its strengths are broad coverage of virtualization and RAID recovery scenarios, support for online/remote recovery, and the availability of tutorials, FAQs, a support center, and human-assisted services. It is particularly relevant for enterprise downtime, controller failure, VMFS metadata corruption, and similar incidents. Downsides include the need for a local Windows environment and relatively high memory requirements, as well as opaque software pricing. While the vendor promises not to disclose data and can sign an NDA, there is no visible SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar certification. There also appear to be no API, permission management, or team collaboration features.
It is best suited for enterprise IT operations teams, virtualization administrators, data recovery companies, and teams that need to rescue virtual machines from ESXi/RAID failures. It is not suitable for users looking for cloud backup, day-to-day collaboration, or an automated API platform. The main site does not specify access from mainland China, payment methods, or localized support. Before purchasing, users should test download speeds and contact support to confirm payment options. If a local alternative is needed, similar recovery tools such as UFS Explorer, R-Studio, and Stellar Technician may be worth evaluating.
