Data recovery is the process of recovering lost or deleted data from different storage devices including a hard disk, USB flash drive, or removable media. Have you ever lost an important file and needed it badly?
Yes, there are ways you can follow to recover data by just restoring it from any recently created backup copy from an external hard disk. There are any number of manual (as well as automated) steps of recovery that can be applied with any level of user experience. Automated data recovery can be pretty helpful and will help you restore files with recovery software, of which there are plenty of options. Paid data recovery software often performs faster, though free software alternatives are certainly worth considering.
LazeSoft
LazeSoft is equipped with several features. This useful data recovery software assures the recovery of all the possible deleted or missing files from different types of storage devices. It also provides a relatively quick option to recover data without wasting nights of effort where you end up recovering files you never even wanted to. This Mac data recovery software allows you to navigate through specific drives or locations, scanning for any deleted files under that particular location.
LazeSoft can also perform complete data recovery (although, it’s less comprehensive) and doesn’t compromise the lost data safety as it can override the lost data.
WonderShare
Wondershare for Mac is a great tool that helps you resurrect all your important files in one go. It’ll look for important files across the storage device and find traces of all the deleted or lost files. You can later search for missing files based on their type, size, or date modified.
RAW recovery is another advanced option in this tool, which will help you find files that aren’t recoverable by any of the other recovery methods. Basically, it’s your last resort if none of the recovery options seem to recover your important files (or volume).

It also gives you a preview of recoverable files and folders before actual recovery.
You can pause the scan or entire recovery procedure mid-way and resume when ready using the “Resume Recovery” option of this Mac recovery tool. This option is pretty useful when you don’t have time to run the complete recovery procedure.
