So how do Mac data recovery tools work? Let's find out.- 1) First of all such tools perform a deep scan of your Mac's hard drive, looking for files that are still subject to data recovery. Macintosh undelete tools can usually recover files from external hard drives and USB flash drives as well. As a rule such scan takes quite a long time, so you can relax a bit and dream about the happy moment of finally retrieving your lost files.
- 2) When the scan is over, you'll see a list of all recoverable files. Yes, that's right - you will see not only the files you need, but also all files that can be recovered on your Mac. Therefore you'll have to filter the search results. Some apps make it possible to preview contents of the found files, so you can make sure whether it's exactly the file you've been looking for.
- 3) And here it is! Finally you and your files are back together again, and it's time to start the process of data rescue. Mac file recovery tools pick up tiny pieces of data from all over the hard drive and return them to the original state. This process will also take a lot of time, but it's worth waiting.
