The software is capable of recovering damaged or deleted files, as well as data from formatted or corrupted volumes or initialized disks. The new version of Ontrack EasyRecovery comes with a series of enhanced features, including a new scan engine and a simplified user interface that allows users to recover data with minimal effort. Kroll Ontrack also introduces a dedicated version for third party IT vendors and service providers.
Bundle of new features makes data recovery easier than ever
Home users looking for simple and intuitive data recovery software, as well as organisations in need of a powerful in-house data recovery tool, can now benefit from a new, state-of-the-art scanning engine that provides faster recovery speeds. Additional enhancements allow users to:
- Save scans, pause and resume the recovery process: Users can choose between quick and advanced scanning options depending on the data loss scenario. The new software release also gives users the ability to save completed scans, as well as pause and resume the recovery process at any time.
- Preview files: Users can preview recoverable files before they are recovered. Ontrack EasyRecovery scans the storage media, lists all lost or deleted files and then classifies them in Tree View, File Type and Deleted List. In addition, the software provides the option to preview files while scanning the media.
- Create disk images: Users have the option to create a disk image of any drive, partition or volume, and recover data from any previously created images. This includes creating images of hard drives, existing logical volumes and any removable media devices.
“The new release of Ontrack EasyRecovery comes with a series of frequently-requested features that make data recovery easier than ever. This includes the possibility to save scans, pause and resume the recovery process whenever necessary or preview files to optimise recovery choices”, said Chris Weiler, President and CEO of KrolLDiscovery. “With the user in mind, we have enhanced the scope of features for a better, state-of-the-art recovery outcome and have also updated the software to support the latest MacOS and Windows versions.”
