Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between the image files of a particular volume and entire hard disk drive?

  Ans. The image file of a particular volume contains only data of a specific volume. On the other hand, the image of a hard disk drive contains data of all the available volumes in the system.

Just launch the software and select the image file, either volume or hard disk drive, and perform data recovery from it.

• What are the different recovery modes in this software? Which mode should I choose here?

  Ans. There’re three recovery modes in this software for handling different level of corruption. Standard Mode for minor corruption, Advanced Mode for moderate or severe corruption, and Deep Mode for extreme corruption issues.
