Top 5 questions about Ontrack EasyRecovery data recovery software

If you have gone searching for this post, you may have suffered a data loss – and you are right now looking for information that could help you to have your data back. If this applies to you then don’t fret: Here we answer the top 5 questions we hear about Ontrack EasyRecovery data recovery software.

I have read that the data recovery software sometimes is not able to recover the 100% of the data, how can I know that I will recover the file that I am looking for?

It is true that sometimes it, along with all other types of data recovery software, is not able to recover all of your data. This is largely due to the type of failure that your hard drive may have sustained. If the failure is a physical failure, then STOP, switch off the device and contact Ontrack or another reputable data recovery company.

If you are sure that your failure is not a physical media one, Ontrack facilitates your decision: just download the free trial version and scan the disk to know which files you can recover. If you like the results, then just buy the software to save the files, if you don’t find what you want, it is ok. In any case, you know what files you can recover without spending a penny.

How long it takes to recover all my files?

This depends, there are many factors that accelerate or otherwise slow down the scanning: drive capacity, amount of data, how data is deleted, recovery methods required, condition of the media etc. All of these factors can affect the speed at which the software scans the disk drive.

Don’t forget that Ontrack EasyRecovery allows you to monitor the state of the media, and can tell you if your drive is likely to suffer impending physical failure. If does happen, then call Ontrack to speak with one of our data recovery consultants.
