VERAQIS Recovery

Analyze and diagnose damaged archives and data files, then recover what the surviving bytes can prove — with a verifiable report of exactly what was and wasn't recovered.

Everything is free during public beta. Analysis, recovery planning, structural and semantic recovery, Shield and verification are enabled without an account or license file.

What it does today

Implemented and tested in the current build. The desktop app drives the VERAQIS engine through a single, one-directional bridge — the UI renders backend results and computes none of them.

SCAN

Analyze

Read-only audit: rule-keyed evidence (offsets, confidence, byte ranges), health and recoverability scoring.

FIND

Diagnose

Per-format defect detection that tells you what is — and isn't — recoverable before you act.

FIX

Recover · public beta

Format-aware structural repair and Tier-3 semantic reconstruction are free during public beta and technically gated to emit only verified bytes.

REP

Reports

Save a structured report of a run; every recovered region carries its evidence. See Reports & Verification.

LOG

History

A local history summary of past runs, with a one-click clear. Stored on your machine only.

KEY

Future licensing

Offline signed-license support is under development for a later commercial release. No license is required during public beta.

Honest empty state. On first run, with no history, the dashboard shows an honest zero-state rather than invented numbers. The interface never fabricates results.

Beta note. The desktop GUI builds and the engine bridge is verified by automated checks. A full manual GUI smoke pass on each platform is recommended before wide public release — treat the desktop build as beta until then.

Current VERAQIS Recovery Protect page showing folder shield, integrity check, repair and signing controls — Current v0.2.1 Protect surface captured from the real UI build. During an active folder job the same page shows correlated file progress and a cooperative Cancel safely control; cancellation is committed only at file boundaries, and staged output is swept.

Formats & what's recoverable

Honest scope. Where a format carries redundancy, veraqis recovers it byte-exact. Where it doesn't, VERAQIS says so — a measured NO-GO is a valid outcome, never a fake recovery.

Format	Detect	Recovery capability	Tier
ZIP / OPC jar·apk·docx·xlsx·epub	✓	EOCD/central-dir rebuild, local-header scan, CRC reconcile, exact part extraction	Exact Tier-3
SQLite	✓	Schema + verified rows, WAL overlay, overflow chains, orphan-page relink	Tier-3
PDF	✓	Object-graph rebuild, Root recovery, verified-stream salvage (graph-proven only)	Tier-3
TAR · GZIP · DEFLATE	✓	Resync salvage, multi-member & continuation recovery, exact structural repair	Exact
ISO 9660	✓	PVD⟂SVD reconcile, dual L/M path-table reconstruction (byte-exact twin)	Exact
bzip2 · xz	✓	Block-independent salvage — each block re-verified by an independent CRC	Exact
7-Zip	✓	Signature & start-header repair, verified inventory, intact-folder & non-solid salvage	Exact Tier-3
RAR5	✓	Inventory + CRC localization, exact STORED extraction, recovery-record certificate	Exact Tier-3
Exact-copy reconstruction	✓	Restore exact bytes from a same-owner duplicate; placement confirmed independently of the search	experimental
Solid LZMA / RAR codec	✓	Mid-stream payload — measured NO-GO (LZ-coupled / proprietary); detect + localize instead	measured NO-GO

Encryption is always detected and abstained — VERAQIS never decrypts, recovers passwords, or bypasses restrictions.

Exact-copy reconstruction is experimental. It restores exact bytes from a same-owner duplicate only, and is still being validated on real backup data. It is not part of general, guaranteed recovery and is not sold as a stable feature.

Desktop recovery questions

A compact scope summary for evaluators comparing recovery tools.

Which files does VERAQIS Recovery analyze?

The beta detects and reports on archives and data formats including ZIP/OPC, TAR, GZIP/DEFLATE, ISO 9660, SQLite, PDF, bzip2, xz, 7-Zip and RAR.

What does VERAQIS Recovery recover?

During public beta it recovers structural bytes, decompressed blocks, rows, parts or objects only where the format provides enough surviving proof. No license is required; unsupported or unprovable regions are reported as unknown.

Is exact-copy reconstruction stable?

No. Exact-copy reconstruction is experimental, same-owner only, and not promoted as a stable public recovery claim in this beta.

Use the reviewed beta

Download the reviewed Windows artifacts, verify their published checksums, and begin with a read-only audit.

Install

The previous Windows beta was withdrawn after release verification failed. A clean CLI and installer rebuild is in progress; no Windows download is currently offered.
