Key features
Suitable for many types of storages
The utility is capable of working with diverse physical storage systems: embedded and portable hard drives of PCs or laptops, memory cards of smartphones, photo or video cameras, USB sticks and others. Virtual digital media can be processed by the software as well, including disk images of different formats and virtual disks of VMware, Hyper-V, VirtualBox, QEMU and XEN.
Support of a wide group of file systems
Recovery Explorer Standard makes it possible to restore lost or deleted data from a broad set of file systems that may be applied in Windows (FAT/FAT32/exFAT and NTFS), macOS (APFS, HFS+) and Linux (XFS, Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, Linux JFS, ReiserFS, UFS/UFS2, big-endian UFS, Btrfs). Moreover, the software allows browsing the intact folders and files without prior scanning and copying them to another location.
Customizable scanning
The application offers several scanning options: it is possible to choose between a quick scan and a longer profound search for lost data by known content (using the IntelliRAW technology), scan only the space occupied by a certain file system or exclude it from a scan. The user can pause the scanning process anytime, check or save the intermediate results or save the final result of the operation for further references.
Helpful additional options
The software is enhanced with auxiliary tools for previewing found files of most common formats, sorting them by the date, size and name, performing a quick or advanced search with multiple criteria, checking the size of the selected data and others. Furthermore, it is possible to see the S.M.A.R.T. status of connected drives and, if needed, create a disk image of a storage right in the software.
Easy-to-use interface
Recovery Explorer Standard combines professional data extraction techniques with a user-friendly interface which makes the software accessible for users with no previous experience in data recovery. The optional simplified mode (Wizard-based mode) allows restoring data with just several clicks of a mouse while the helpful interface guides through the procedure by showing useful tips and prompts.
