File recovery from deleted, formatted, corrupted and unreadable volumes, including a deep scan by file signature and a bootable rescue environment for drives that will not mount.
Data recovery software exists for the moment after the mistake. A volume was formatted, a partition table was rewritten, a folder went into the recycle bin and then out of it, or a drive that worked yesterday now shows up as unallocated space. This scans the media at a level below the file system and rebuilds what is still physically there.
There are two scan modes and the difference matters. The quick scan reads the file system records for entries marked as deleted but not yet overwritten, which is fast and preserves the original names and folder structure. The deep scan ignores the file system entirely and walks the raw sectors looking for file signatures, which finds data on a formatted or corrupted volume but returns files with generated names sorted by type. Most jobs start with the first and fall back to the second.
This listing is the Technician level, which carries everything the lower editions have plus the parts that matter when the drive itself is the problem. RAID reconstruction for striped, mirrored and parity arrays with automatic parameter detection, recovery from virtual machine disk images, monitoring of drive health with reallocated sector reporting, and a bootable rescue environment written to a USB stick so you can work on a system drive without booting the operating system that lives on it.
Preview before recovery is the feature that saves the most time. Documents, images, video and audio can be opened inside the scan results before you commit to writing anything, so you can confirm a file is intact rather than recovering forty gigabytes and finding out afterwards. Scan sessions can be saved and reopened later, and a whole drive can be imaged to a file first so all further work happens on a copy rather than on failing hardware.
Read the whole list before you start. Most of the reports that come into the desk about this title turn out to be a step taken out of order.
| Processor | Intel or AMD, 64 bit, dual core or better |
|---|---|
| Memory | 4 GB minimum, 8 GB for deep scans of large volumes |
| Graphics | Not applicable |
| Storage | 1 GB for the install plus space equal to what you are recovering |
| Display | 1280 by 800 minimum |
Stop using the affected drive immediately. Every write reduces what can be recovered.
Deep scans on a large volume can run for many hours. Save the scan session so you do not have to repeat it.

File recovery from deleted, formatted, corrupted and unreadable volumes, with a bootable environment included for machines that will not start at all.
Partition management, disk cloning and system migration with a bootable environment included, doing the operations Windows disk management refuses to attempt.
Disk imaging and backup with incremental chains, scheduled jobs, rapid delta restore and a bootable rescue environment that can put a whole system back on different hardware.
A small, fast undelete tool that finds recently deleted files on any attached volume, shows how likely each one is to come back intact, and restores them in a couple of clicks.
