Product Description:

SubRosaSoft DiskGuardian is a collection of tools and helpers that help guard the data on your disks. Integrating SMART monitoring, HFS+ journaling, volume repair, surface scanning, hardware integrity checking, benchtesting, backup/restore, and online reporting it not only diagnoses and repairs disks, but it can predict many problems long before they occur.

Keeping the focus on guarding DiskGuardian performs scheduled regular checks on your hard drive no matter where you are, and will report to your email, web server, or to reports on your disk.

If any failures are detected you can use the backup and restore functions to recover data long after other Disk Utilities have given up.

Added a menu command to search for disks that were not mounted at startup
Can now backup a drive even if it cant be mounted
useful for making repairs to it without risking the original
Can now surface scan and repair drives that are not mounted
useful for diagnosing and repairing disks that are too corrupted to mount

Missing Disk feature and Repair Disk are done by shell commands.

For example:

The Missing Disk lookup is done by DiskGuardian with:

/sbin/fsck_hfs -y /dev/diskXsX // x= a number

The Disk Repair is done by DiskGuardian with:

/sbin/fsck_hfs -y -f -g /dev/diskXsX // x= a number

Worth 50 bucks?

My PB was crippled because it froze whilst running Nortons Speed Disk (GRRRRR!). I couldn't even get past the user login it would just crash! In desperation I downloaded DiskGuardian and it saved my bacon! At least I can back up my data now and SubRosa got my registration key to me ASAP (and they say they don't work the weekends)! Thank you very much!

It works even if a little slow.
