"Data recovery" is the process of recovering deleted, damaged, or lost data from a storage medium. This can be done through various techniques and software tools aimed at locating, recovering, and repairing the lost data to make it accessible again.
Typical functions of software in the "Data Recovery" area may include:
Scan Storage Media: The software scans the affected storage medium to locate and recover deleted or lost files.
Preview: The ability to preview recoverable files so that the user can review and select the files to be restored.
Selective Recovery: The ability to choose specific files or folders to be restored rather than recovering the entire contents of the storage.
Various File Types: The software should support various types of files, including documents, images, videos, audio, and other file formats.
Flexible Recovery Options: The ability to recover data from different storage media such as hard drives, USB drives, memory cards, SSDs, and even damaged or formatted media.
Quick and Deep Scan Modes: Software often offers both quick and deep scan modes to enable quick recovery or perform deeper searches for lost data.
Security and Privacy: Ensuring that the recovered data remains secure and private, without the risk of further damage or data loss.
