Backup, backup, backup . . . this is the mantra of computer volume protection! Yet, even backups get corrupted, and boot drives fail to boot . . . this is when you need reliable data insurance to bring back those precious files. I’ve been using Stellar recovery products for many years, and their latest release does even more.
Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery v.7 has just been released with even more features (two years ago I reviewed version 6 at applejac.com/recovery-v6). It continues to restore documents, photos, music or videos lost due to deletion from any HFS, HFS+, FAT, ExFAT and NTFS format based file system.
This utility performs Mac file recovery on iMac, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac Mini, Mac Pro or any Mac operating on Yosemite (Mac OS X 10.10). It enables smooth data recovery from encrypted file systems, recovers all deleted files with their original file name, supports RAW recovery on lost volumes and Time Machine Backup drive recovery.
The latest version of Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery comes with a striking new user interface that is both smart and simple. Appropriately explained options and detailed categorizations make recovering data effortless. Plus, features like checking/un-checking files and folders for recovery using space bar, advanced filter options for files, eye-icon for displaying information about a file and multiple viewing modes (Detail, List, Thumbnail) for scanning results makes the entire process quicker and more user-friendly.
With updated drive information and SMART Status of drive, this application lets you know more about your Mac hard drive and volumes than any other data recovery software. Additionally, it offers options to make data recovery safer for your Mac. If a huge amount of data needs to be scanned, you can select the “Minimum RAM usage” option to ensure that your system doesn’t freeze of crash due to RAM running low. Also, to prevent system freeze while previewing corrupted files during scan, the software offers such preview in safe mode both in thumbnail view and running preview.
Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery 7.0 is available for $99 at stellarinfo.com/mac-osx-recovery. To try before you buy, you can download the free trial version to scan and preview all the lost files and folders that can be recovered by the software. Stellar Phoenix also offers a variety of other utilities at stellarinfo.com including Windows Data Recovery - Pro, Photo Recovery, Outlook PST Repair, Mailbox Exhange Recovery, and much more.
