Easy-to-use data recovery software on Mac – EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard

by Technical otaku - 2022-06-20 2247 0 2

I believe that everyone has encountered the situation of accidentally deleting files, unreadable hard disks, or even accidentally destroying the entire formatted storage device. Although I usually advise everyone to make more backups, it’s okay to make more backups, and I always tell you a correct concept: things are not called backup if they are thrown away to an external hard drive, but they have to be copied to another hard drive. Calculate. But there are still times when people are not as good as the gods, and things happen to the data that just hasn't been backed up... So what should I do?

If a tragedy really happens, there are many stores on the market with professional skills that can save valuable information, but these services can cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, and if the hard disk is to be repaired by others, the confidentiality of the information must be considered. sexual issues.

Isn't there a way to try the Mac Data Rescue for yourself first ? Actually there is!

The EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard to be introduced today is a Mac data rescue software, and more importantly, it has a free version that allows you to try to rescue 2GB of data first. If you are successful, you only need to pay if you want to save more data, and you will not worry about the situation where you may spend money but fail to restore your precious files!

Of course, they also release data rescue software for Windows. If you are a Windows user, you can download and try it on the official website.

The following operation examples will be demonstrated with the Pro version, but the operation of the free version is almost identical.

 

data rescue

▼ First, let's go to the EaseUS official website to download the free EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard for Mac

 

After downloading, we drag the program to the "Applications" folder, and it is installed.

I looked through most of the teaching articles on the Internet, and they all demonstrate deletion of files or restoration of formatting. I believe my readers all know that deleting a file only marks the magnetic area where the file is located as ready to be deleted, not the data will be erased immediately, so the probability of successful restoration is of course very high, and even for rescue software, it is fundamental Of course.

So, let's do something different and see if EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard can stand the test. I happen to have a hard drive with a bad track on hand, so let's use it to challenge it!

▼ Use the hard disk detection software to first look at the current state of the hard disk, and find that 870 sectors have been damaged, and the number will continue to increase over time.

 

▼ Fortunately, the EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard can still recognize the hard drive. We need to quickly restore the files before the hard drive is completely corrupted and can't be saved! As soon as you press scan, it will start analyzing the contents of the hard drive.

 

Has anyone found out that this hard drive is in NTFS format? EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard supports not only the common APFS and HFS+ formats on Mac, but also the formats used on Windows like NTFS!

▼ Since this hard drive is really dying, the reading speed is very slow, and it takes more than a day to scan, I have tested a normal hard drive and it does not take that long

 

It should be noted here that most of the data rescue software on the market are roughly divided into two modes: "Quick Scan" and "Deep Scan".

The difference is that the quick scan will use the directory structure in the hard disk to match the scan, so the restored file has a higher chance of being the original file name and placed in the original folder. But most of them are only applicable to the case of accidentally deleted files. If the files have been deleted for a period of time, or the quick scan mode cannot be found, you have to use deep scan.

As the name implies, deep scan is to scan the entire hard disk in a lower-level way, which takes a long time, and the restored file name and folder may be lost, so you have to confirm the file content to know whether it is the file you want.

EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard may be designed to be more suitable for inexperienced users in operation, so there is no choice between the quick scan and deep scan functions, and the quick scan will be performed first, and then the deep scan. But here is a little trick: as long as the file you want to restore appears on the preview screen above, you can actually stop scanning the subsequent content and skip directly to the restoration stage.

▼ After a period of time, the file you want to restore is found. According to the scan type, the program will decide to display it in the folder structure, or directly display the file type, but the folder and file name (RAW Files) are missing.

 

▼ Of course, if you think it is very troublesome to look at one by one, you can also switch the thumbnail mode in the upper toolbar, and the file types that support thumbnails will be displayed directly.

 

▼ If the file is of the type that can be QuickLooked, we can also directly click and press the blank key of the keyboard to preview the content

 

Finally, click "Restore Now" and you can choose where to restore the files!

▼ As shown in the figure, I tried to restore these doc files

 

▼ Open with Word and confirm that the format and content are completely normal!

 

What if there are many files and there is no way to restore them all at once? I don't want to spend more than ten hours, or even a few days to scan again... The intimate EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard has taken this into account, so it provides the function of saving and loading scan results.

▼ Just try to close the scan result window, the software will remind you and ask if you want to save the scan status

 

After saving the scan status, the next time you want to restore the data, just click the saved scan result file (.rsf) file. It will go directly back to the previous result!

Measured results: Although the hard disk is broken and the directory cannot be read in the Finder, it is still successfully rescued. EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard does have a set!

 

Pro version advanced features: cloud recovery

Sometimes there is not enough space in our computer to restore files, and there is just no other external hard drive to use. But fortunately, most people now have cloud space, which may be terabytes or even infinite space. EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard makes me think that the most different thing from other similar software is that it supports cloud recovery! (This function is only available in Pro (paid version)~)

Cloud Recovery currently supports the following three space services:

  • Dropbox

  • GoogleDrive

  • OneDrive

▼ The operation is also very simple, first select the file you want to restore, and then select “Restore to Cloud” on the “Restore Now” side

 

▼ A confirmation screen will pop up asking you to link to one of the three cloud accounts below

 

▼ After the connection is complete, choose which folder to restore to the cloud space

 

The software will then start restoring and uploading the file. After waiting for a while, it will display completed, let's confirm it~

▼ After the restoration is successful, go to Dropbox to confirm that the file has indeed been uploaded successfully

 

Note: At the moment of writing this article (2020/11/20), for unknown reasons, I actually measured that using OneDrive would fail to restore. After asking the customer service, we learned that some computer environments have this situation. If you encounter this situation, you can try to use Dropbox and Google Drive instead. The original engineer has been aware of this situation and is in the process of repairing it.

 

Conclusions and Supplements

The data rescue of EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard is indeed effective, and the files that have been deleted can still be rescued on hard disks with bad sectors. The 2GB trial provided by the free version is enough for users who want to try data rescue by themselves to try the success rate of file rescue first. If you encounter such an unfortunate event next time, you might as well try EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, a Mac data rescue software !

 

Finally, add some small knowledge for you who want rescue information:

The success rate of data rescue will be related to the file type and size.

Let's start with the size. Assuming that the lost data sectors are randomly distributed in the disk, the larger the file, the more space it takes up, so the chance of encountering a sector that has been overwritten or a corrupted sector happens to be less. higher. Therefore, the rescue success rate of small files will be higher than that of large files.

Again, mention the different file types. Different file types have different degrees of tolerance for data errors. For example, if the video file of a movie encounters wrong data in the middle, there is a chance that except the affected data for a few seconds, the rest of the clips can be played normally. In the picture, there may be situations such as the disappearance of a part of the color, although it is not a perfect rescue success, but in some cases it is better than nothing. On the other hand, the file type of the program executable file has almost no possibility of fault tolerance, and most programs cannot be executed as long as one byte is incorrect.

Therefore, if the data you want to rescue contains multiple types, remember to try within the 2GB free quota to see if all types of files can be restored successfully.

Finally, there is an old saying. Please back up important data well, the data that is not backed up is not important data. For example, I have some data that I use RAID backup + backup first, and then throw it into the NAS to do another backup + backup. If it is usually possible to go out and access, another copy will be thrown to the cloud, a total of three backups. Don't believe in evil, one day if the data is really lost, you will cry without tears...
