Select files in a view

Select files in any view mentioned above using cursor selection (Use Shift or Ctrl keys for mutli-selection).

After files are selected in a view, click Recover button in view's toolbar or use Recover command from context menu or use Ctrl+R shortcut.

Naming options

Use original file names
Names of detected files will be preserved only if no file with the same name already exists in the destination directory.
Rename files
All files will be renamed by their given specified file root name and added enumeration ID. File extensions remain intact.

Existing files conflict resolution

Unique file name
If a file with the same name exists in the destination folder, a file with a unique name will be generated to avoid overwriting.
Ask before overwrite
If a file with the same name already exists in the destination folder, the application will ask the user for a specific action to take.
Overwrite without prompt
All files will be overwritten in the event if they already exist in the destination folder.
Skip existing files
If a file with the same name exists in the destination folder, recovery of a new file will be skipped.

Additional Options

Create Folder Structure
When this option is selected files will be recovered with their original folder structures e.g. original folder hierarchy as it was on the storage source. In case files were organized in groups (date, file extensions, or by an associated application) then such groupings will be created by the folder structure in the location where the files will be recovered to.
Recover Name Streams
With this option on, files will be recovered with their original name streams.
Browse destination folder
Opens the destination folder in the default OS file browser.
Detailed Log
With this option on, the log file contains more detailed information about recovered files.
Use Disk Lock
The source disk will be locked during the file recovery process. It will be unlocked as soon as the process is completed.
Ignore Disk Lock Errors
With this option on, the file recovery process will continue even if locking of the source device fails.
Ignore Write Errors
No error messages will appear and all write errors will be ignored during the recovery process.
Ignore Read Errors
No error messages will appear and all read errors will be ignored during the recovery process.

Observe recovery process

Observe recovery process and verify recovered files in destination folder. Repeat recovery process if necessary.
