Description

Disk Drill Media Recovery is the simplest and the most efficient data recovery app on the Mac App Store. Version 4 offers a new streamlined user interface that will help you navigate, preview, sort, and filter your recoverable data with ease.

Disk Drill can recover your deleted pictures and photos, music, documents, applications, videos, notes, and other data. There are several data recovery algorithms running in a smart sequence within Disk Drill. "Quick Scan" and "Search for Lost Partitions" can recover files of any format. "Deep Scan" file recovery works on a lower level and analyzes disks as binary entities. It runs your hard drive recovery based on file signatures, thus original file names, locations and properties aren't always recoverable.

Disk Drill can recover deleted data on all known file systems: APFS, HFS+, FAT32, NTFS, EXT3, EXT4, ExFAT, and will even work with formatted disk images. If your data is still there, Disk Drill will undelete it for you. Disk Drill can get your data back from any byte-by-byte disk image. The following disk image formats are supported: DMG, ISO, and IMG.
Disk Drill Media Recovery is developed by CleverFiles, a well-known data solutions brand since 2011. You can be sure you are getting an app of the best quality.

Your lost data can be retrieved from any internal and external media: your Mac hard drive (excluding system partitions), any disk you can mount to your Mac, USB flash thumb drives, cameras, card-readers, external hard drives, iPods (Shuffle, Nano, Classic, Mini), mobile phones, other Macs connected in target mode, etc.

!! Please Note: Disk Drill Media Recovery cannot recover data from devices running on iOS: iPhones, iPads, and iPods Touch.

** How to create and recover from a disk image **

Disk Drill Media Recovery uses uncompressed (byte-by-byte) disk images as the source for data recovery. Here's how you can create them really easy:

1. Run Disk Utility, it's a standard macOS app.
2. Go to File > New > Disk Image from "YOUR_DISK_NAME".
3. Choose "read-write" as your Image format. Do not choose "Compressed", deleted data will not be copied if you do.
4. Set encryption to "none".
5. Save your disk image, and load it in Disk Drill Media Recovery when done.

helpful data recovery

After a sync gone wrong, I discovered some data had been accidentally deleted from my primary backup drive. For Mac HFS+ format drives, there are few software options. While I was able to recover most data using open source software (eg TestDisk, PhotoRec), they are slower and have some significant disadvantages, especially for large storage drives; also they do not allow filtering of files prior to recovery. In this case, I was looking to recover specific TIF files from a 5TB backup with a particular resolution.

Disk Drill worked well for this task and saved time, as it extracted metadata from the images and made it (partly) searchable. The program is easy to use and performed actually better than expected, despite not recovering filenames and folders (this is due to HFS structure I believe). A preview is available for files to see they are not corrupted. Also there is a trial version to test functionality before buying, this is important.

It would be helpful if the program had more (complex) filtering options, eg using multiple parameters. This would improve the ability to search for specific files. Overall a solid product - hopefully you never need to use it!

For the benifit of one & all

G'day World, I accidentally erased almost 2TB of data from a poor misunderstanding on my part, D’oh! (my bad). Following my shock, horror, panic, anger and despair I began my research on how the hell am I going to get my files back? I asked a few IT mates and looked on the internet finding several online programs that claimed to recover lost files. I did try a couple of others and was not happy with the results and on my third have a go using the free trial version of Disk Drill and completing a Deep Scan of my external hard-drive I felt the tears well in my eyes when I saw my lost files slowly reappearing in the preview window of this brilliant program. All I can say is T H A N K Y O U to the team at Disk Drill for developing such a great data recovery program and an affordable price. I am happy to recommend Dick Drill Pro to anyone who values their lost files as much as I do. Cheers from iSpike in Western Australia

A cost and time effective solution

I somehow lost a folder on my drobo, had no idea how and when it dissappeared. After doing some research on google, I found Disk Drill Media Recovery. Quick download of a trial version, run a scan and low and behold the missing folder is in the somewhere between the 0’s and 1’s. So bought the full verison and ran the scan and recovery and presto, data recovered! Pretty much all you need in software like this is to recover lost files, and that is exactly what it did. Didn’t take days like some others or cost a fortune. Very reasonable price for a great tool. Everyone should have this sitting in your application folder, ready for when you need it.
