DiskInternals VMFS Recovery Standard is a specialized forensic-grade utility designed to recover data from VMware vSphere, ESXi, and ESX servers. It focuses on reconstructing corrupted VMFS (Virtual Machine File System) partitions and retrieving VMDK files, even when the original RAID controller or host has failed.
