SecureRecovery
SecureRecovery is data recovery software for locating files that have been deleted, reformatted, corrupted, or made inaccessible.
What SecureRecovery is
SecureRecovery is data recovery software for locating files that have been deleted, reformatted, corrupted, or made inaccessible. It works with HDDs, SSDs, flash media, partitions, and binary image files, and supports NTFS, HFS/HFS+, FAT16/32, exFAT, and APFS. Search, file previews, and recovery-probability estimates help identify data that may be recoverable; the software also offers media-health analysis, imaging, and multiple-file recovery. It can recover compressed and encrypted files, including NTFS alternative data streams. Windows features include support for BitLocker, Windows Storage Spaces, dynamic disks, several RAID configurations, Linux LVM/LVM2 and mdadm RAID, and VMDK, VHD, VHDX, and VDI formats. The macOS version supports encrypted APFS recovery, FileVault, Fusion Drive, and other listed Mac storage configurations. The demo shows data that can be recovered before purchase. Windows costs 39.95 USD once, and Mac costs 49.95 USD once. The software addresses logical corruption; it cannot recover data from physically damaged devices.
