Software Options
The experienced user may use further options to try and influence the result of data recovery if the first result is not satisfactory enough.
Please note:
The default settings will bring you an optimized result in almost all cases.
Options are:
Show NTFS System Files
This option must select before you do a data recovery. It will show also NTFS system files such as $ MFT, and so on.
Data recovery without FAT
In some cases the FAT system may not be useful for data recovery and you can achieve better results without FAT. Anyhow, Data LifeSaver will check the FAT and will not use it if it is a bad FAT (see also: Probabilistic FAT analysis) .
Probabilistic FAT analysis
Data LifeSaver uses a spezial procedure to check the suitability of the FAT. We do not recommend to switch it off.
Sector backoff strategy
A special procedure allows for the skipping of single bad sectors on a disk. It may be swithced off for higher speed. After switching it off larger sector blocks will be skipped that may contain useable information.
Show deleted files
Data LifeSaver will show deleted files and folders.
