Data Recovery Essential

Data Recovery Essential will restore all existing file formats: images and photos, music, documents, videos, ZIP and other compressed files, etc. If your lost data is not recoverable with our Quick Scan or your file system has been damaged, Deep Scan and other extensive data retrieval algorithms will reconstruct your files based on our unique collection of binary file signatures (which is also constantly updated).

 

Data Recovery Essential scans all existing file systems, including HFS+, NTFS, FAT32, EXT4 and others, and will also be able to find deleted data after accidental or incomplete disk format. All internal and external storage devices supported: your Mac’s main hard drive, any mountable external disks, USB flash thumb drives, cameras, memory cards, and even other Macs.

 

A regular data rescue process with Data Recovery Essential starts with creating a disk image from the storage device where the lost files reside. This step is very easy to accomplish and is required to prevent further data loss if the target drive has mechanical issues.

 

Once the disk image is created, load it into Data Recovery Essential app and scan it for deleted data. The app will then show all your recoverable files in a well-structured list that can be searched and filtered. You can recover selected files or just dump everything to another disk or destination and sort it out later. The data recovery process is very fast, smooth and clear.
