Recovery Process of EaseUS File Recovery Software

Next, we will examine the general data recovery process using the Data Recovery Wizard in windows. Once the application opens, the initial step starts with selecting the scan location. You can choose to scan any drive in your system, your desktop, Windows libraries, a particular partition or an external drive. If we need to recover any non-mounting or deleted partition, Data Recovery Wizard will display those too, by getting information from the partition table. Unlike many recovery tools, we don’t need to scan the full hard drive first.

For scanning hard drive, select any partition which we need to work with and hit scan. Recovery Wizard will start scanning, first quick scan and then it will execute the deep scan. There’s no need to select deep scan separately. While scanning, the software displays the progress bar at the top, which also has the countdown of how much time left for completion.

Once the scan is completed, you can search for content by file tree, file category (graphics, audio, document, video, email) and search for files. Search is handy because you can search for a specific file type by searching for an extension (.txt, .jpg). Content that is deleted by you directly will be in recycle bin folder. Content that is deleted by other means such as by a program can be found in a special folder called RAW.

Recovering the found content is simple. It is just by clicking checkbox besides the file name, hit the “recover” button and select the recovery location. The location selected has to be separate partition or drive, where you can also select an external drive.

Performance:

To find how EaseUS Data Recovery wizard stands in the competition with the other competitors, we executed some basic recovery tests on this tool. This tool was executed on a 515 GB partition with 412 GB of used space. For this testing, three files are created: a Word document, an image file of format .jpg and a .mp4 video file and then deleted.

Results are quite good. Quick scan is performed in 1 and half a minute and deep scan took around 1 hour, 22 minutes for completion. It has successfully recovered all files i.e., Word file, image file and video file which are deleted. This is an indeed a great achievement as a deep scan took time less than 2 hours which incredible because it is much faster than average in recovery tools.
