Variations in available programs for data recovery
Most of the data recovery software available on the market today differs greatly one program to the next. The most common gauge of this difference is strength or as used in the information technology world robustness. For example, almost every data recovery tool can scan through a computer hard drive and recognize recently deleted files. But a surprisingly high percentage of the same tools are unable to reattach the original file name to that file. This of course makes a program of little value. Another level of difficulty for data recovery arises when we attempt Mac file recovery.
Mac computers operate using Unix command language. It takes a far more sophisticated application for Mac recovery than is needed for recovery of data on Windows based PCs. Now consider another level of file recovery difficulty. That is the restoration of files on a computer that we have reloaded the operating system on to and subsequently reformatted the hard disk drive. Only the most powerful data recovery tools can undelete reformatted files. And only the best of these can undelete reformatted files on a Mac computer.
