FonePaw Data Recovery is a Windows application that helps users restore lost or deleted data such as photos, video clips, audio tracks, text documents, emails, ZIP archives, etc. Integrated advanced algorithms are helpful for detecting and recovering damaged files. It is worth noting that the free trial version of FonePaw Data Recovery has limited capabilities.
Scan process
After starting the software you can select the target storage device from the list of all connected drives. Like in Hetman File Repair, there is an option to choose specific file types to look for. The Scan button at the bottom of the main window begins the operation.
Users are able to view the results as thumbnails or as a list with detailed file attributes. All detected items are automatically split into categories like documents, images, databases, archives, emails, audio and video for easier navigation.
You can perform a deep scan if the required items were not found. This operation identifies all file fragments on the hard drive and may take up a long time.
Restoration
It is possible to preview certain file types before recovery. Users are able to select multiple items and click the Recover button to start the process. The output directory is customizable.
