Company Background


Greg Brewer - CTO

Our founder, Greg Brewer is well known in the mass storage industry as one of the pioneers in hard drive firmware, software utilities, device drivers and file systems. Through decades of consulting, Greg has gained unparalleled experience in magnetic media (rigid and flexible, fixed and removable) and optical media (read only and read write) low level format structures, command and control commands (standard and proprietary), and every means of transport (SCSI, ATA,  ATAPI, SATA, USB, 1394, TCP/IP and Fiber Channel) to the host computer.

Since 1985 Greg has worked directly with most mass storage companies in a consulting capacity to bring technical expertise to varied product development teams to achieve timely releases of ground breaking products time and time again. A few companies that benefited from Gregs experience over the years include Adaptec, Apple, Castlewood, Conner, iomega, Motorola, Oxford, Quantum, Ricoh, Seagate, Syquest, Toshiba, plus countless OEM drive resellers.

Highlighted achievements include developing first plug-and-play mass storage driver utility (sold to end users internationally as Drive7, later to be acquired by Apple as the basis for Mac OS mass storage support, DriveSetup). The first universal CD/DVD play and write drivers to support all media types (also sold to Apple as the basis for CD/R support in Mac OS and CD Writing in iTunes).

Drive 7    Boxshot

The first comprehensive diagnostic utilities for mass storage devices, the first universal driver based drive cache performance suite, the first universal drive partitioning application, the first driver based encryption suite for mass storage devices and the first universal driver that uses TCP/IP to share mass storage devices with other users in the workgroup (DriveShare).

These projects (and countless others) provided Greg and Prosoft with well-rounded experience in single-logical-unit and all forms of RAID (both hardware and software) in direct and net-attached configurations. Few companies can match the breadth of knowledge that has been passed through the engineering ranks of Prosoft Engineering, Inc.

In parallel with pioneering work in the mass storage driver, utilities, and firmware arenas, Greg amassed tremendous experience in file systems through pioneering companies such as Apple (MFS, HFS, HFS+, DOS FAT, and NTFS), Sitka (Tops), and Novell (Netware). Highlighted achievements in this area include one of the first cross platform external file system software to successfully allow Macs and PCs to share media (PC Exchange) and one of the most successful cross platform network operating systems to date.

Data Rescue Software


Data Rescue Boxes

Leveraging on our low level and file system experience, in the year 2000, Prosoft Engineering completed development of the most advanced and one of the most popular data recovery software suites developed to date, Data Rescue.  Available for both Mac and PC in the retail channel and to professional data recovery organizations, Data Rescue remains one of the cornerstone software utilities used by data recovery professionals worldwide.  In a highly customized and technical form it is used within Prosoft's very own data recovery business unit called The Data Rescue Center to give us a significant technical advantage over most data recovery organizations.

Prosoft Engineering is proud to continue to benefit from Greg's experience in his role as CTO and he continues to be hands-on with the engineering team as we continue to overcome new challenges daily.

The Data Rescue Center was founded in 2009 and is a division of Prosoft Engineering, Inc.  We are experts in the field of software development, having been in the IT business since 1985. Our data recovery software is highly acclaimed throughout the IT world having produced award winning, easy to use software.  With this experience and knowledge it has given us the ability to become data recovery experts.

By the summer of 2010, The Data Rescue Center had outgrown the headquarters in downtown Pleasanton, California.  With the rapid growth (in part due to the many awards won for excellent service and pricing), there was an urgent need for a new headquarters, one that could house a state-of-the-art recovery lab as well as some unique security features not before seen in the computer recovery business.

In June of 2010, The Data Rescue Center finalized the purchase of a building in Livermore, California, near the Lawrence Livermore National Lab. Work immediately began on the design and construction of the new recovery lab facility with a goal to be operational in less than a year. In late January of 2011, both Prosoft Engineering and The Data Rescue Center moved all operations to this new facility.   Boasting a Class 2 UL-Listed Vault as well as extensive security features, the new Data Rescue Center facility sets a new standard in the industry for customer data security, unmatched by any competitors.  The all-new ISO 5 / Class 100 Cleanroom exceeds all manufacturers specifications for cleanroom recovery environments. This new facility provides our recovery engineers with the top technology and innovation to recover computer data while offering best-in-class security features.

Since 2000 Prosoft Engineering, Inc has been focused on developing data recovery software for the Mac and PC. Our data recovery software is used by data recovery services, law enforcement, all major branches of the U.S. Military and major intelligence agencies.

With our extensive experience working in the data recovery industry, we launched The Data Rescue Center.
