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.

This Mac data recovery software allows you to navigate through specific drives or locations, scanning for any deleted files under that particular location.

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.

Simply choose the RAW recovery option and let the recovery application perform a scan of the entire drive or any specific locations. It’ll take time, depending upon the capacity of storage device. It also gives you a preview of recoverable files and folders before actual recovery.
