Raw File Search

 Top  Previous  Next

(Available on Restorer Ultimate PRO and Restorer Ultimate PRO Network only)

While scanning, Restorer Ultimate can find files created by various programs by file signatures or byte patterns in the files common to each file of that particular types.

Note: Using Raw File Search, Restorer Ultimate can successfully recover only un-fragmented files.

You may set the defaults for raw fi on the Settings.

By default, Restorer Ultimate tries to recognize all supported file types, greatly increasing time required for the scan. You may reduce it by selecting only those file types that you need. Click the Change Raw File Search Options button or Actions->Set raw file search options... on the Task List and select the required file types on the Raw File Search dialog box.
