What precautions should I take while recovering my lost data with Stellar Data Recovery Professional?

Modified on: January 21, 2021 | 8030 views

There are some precautions you must take while recovering your lost or deleted data with the help ofStellar Data Recovery Professional:

  • Stop using the drive immediately or adding more data to it after data loss. When you delete or lose files, the drive frees up some space. The files still remain there, but you cannot access them without performing data recovery. Adding more data to the drive will overwrite the inaccessible files. Once overwritten, you won’t be able to recover those files, even with the help of a data recovery software.
  • Do not save the recovered files and folders on the drive from where you lost them in the first place. Saving recovered files to the same drive may overwrite the space before they can be recovered. Always use a different storage drive to save the recovered files.
  • Do not save the recovered files to a corrupt or faulty hard drive. Always verify that your hard drive is in good health before you store recovered data in it.
  • Make sure you have admin access while using the drive.
  • Make sure you are using the updated version of the software.

Follow the above precautions while performing recovery. These precautions will help you improve the chances of successful data recovery!
