Active File Recovery

Active File Recovery is a useful utility for recovering deleted or damaged files. All current file systems are supported. You can recover various files - documents, videos, archives, executable files and so on. Deep scanning mode is supported, in which the search is performed by signature. The process in this case lasts much longer, but the probability of recovering the desired file increases. This is ensured by scanning through all sectors of the range.

Scanning

After starting the program, you will be prompted to select the drive to be scanned for lost files. Next, you need to specify the type of scan and confirm the launch. It is worth considering that in some cases the scan may take quite a long time. When the scan is complete, a detailed report will be displayed. To retrieve files that have been deleted relatively recently, a quick scan is usually enough. If this method does not work or if the files were lost after a serious failure, you should activate the advanced mode.

Search conditions

There is a set of filters that allows you to narrow down the final selection in advance. You can specify the date of creation, approximate size, extension and other parameters. This allows you to noticeably reduce the time of checking.

Restore

After the scanning stage, a list of all detected files will be displayed on the screen. There is a preview function, and opening of documents, videos and images is supported. Only files that do not exceed 30 megabytes are opened correctly. After selecting the desired files, you should press the Recover button and specify the save directory. When the extraction is complete, a corresponding notification will appear.
