Popular questions

Is the use of Recovery Explorer absolutely safe for my storage device and the data on it?

Recovery Explorer works entirely on-site and in a safe "read-only" mode. In no case can it make any modifications to the source storage, alter its structures or transmit any information from it to remote servers. If the digital medium itself doesn’t bear any physical flaws and you accurately use the functions of the program, there is no threat to the integrity or security of the data. However, if your storage device is defective, a self-made procedure assumes a high risk of permanent data loss, so it is strongly recommended that you reach out to a trustworthy data recovery service provider.

How do I make a choice between the editions of Recovery Explorer?

Recovery Explorer offers three software editions, so it is possible for everyone to choose the most apt set of tools and features. Recovery Explorer Standard deals with the basic data loss scenarios associated with simple digital media; Recovery Explorer RAID can be employed for processing both simple storages and complex RAID-based devices; Recovery Explorer Professional presents an extended set of instruments for dealing with complex RAID sets, specific storage technologies, encrypted or corrupted storages.
