Have your important files disappeared or been corrupted due to mischievous virus? There are a plethora more reasons for why your data has vanished in thin air. Now you want it back.

How does  Kernel for Data recovery work?

Equipped with three modes, and a very simple design, using this software is as easy as ABC.

  • Quick Scan: This mode effectively restores your recently deleted files. You can recover deleted files, files lost due to bad sectors, boot sector corruptions, FAT corruptions, index corruptions, partition deletions, MFT corruptions, virus attacks, etc. When I used this, I wasn’t able to recover the files I deleted a while ago. That’s when you have to switch to Extensive scan mode.
  • Extensive Scan: It is an advanced recovery mode. From what I experienced, it takes a very long period of time to come up with the list of what has been deleted in the past. It recovers data lost due to partition format, partition deletion, and re-formatting of hard disk partitions. In my opinion, you can use the Quick scan mode to browse what you have deleted and then use Extensive Scan mode to recover it, because it is quite slow.
  • File Trace: When all else fails, resort to this mode. This is another pretty slow more but is quite efficient. It extensively scans the corrupt partition or drive to recover data from it. You can also search for particular files or file formats so as to speed up the recovery process.

All these scans are slow, but there’s something you can do to make it more efficient. Save snapshots! You can save snapshots of your recovery process by using the ‘Save Snapshot’ option. This facility aids you when you have to scan the drive again and again and makes it fast.

I could enlist the steps of recovering data, but the entire software is designed to take you step by step till recovery. First, you need to select your mode.
