Disk Drill is a program whose main function is finding and recovering all the deleted data of your hard drive, SD cards and USB sticks. It has been developed by Cleverfiles, and also published by the same company. If you have a computer, you will know that sometimes everybody makes a mistake and deletes some files without noticing. If that has happened to you, you know it is a huge drawback, but Disk Drill will give you a second chance.
It will prevent your files from getting lost, thanks to its backup option, and if you have lost the data, you will be able to recover it thanks to its file recovery tools. Its clear and simple interface will display all these tools at first sight, and this makes Disk Drill a very easy-to-use program. However, if you do not know how to use it, you can look for tutorials and help before you download Disk Drill.
The software relies on multiple file recovering algorithms. For this reason, you can use it in almost every drive connected to your computer by USB, Disk Images and FireWire. Multiple file systems are compatible with Disk Drill, including the most popular ones such as EXT3, EXT4, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, HFS and HFS+. It also works in drives that have been formatted and that have not used any file system.
Do not lose your data again
Disk Drill has two main functions that will save the day more than once. The first one is to protect your data and files thanks to its Recovery Vault. It is a system that will keep and protect the integrity of FAT and HFS+ files. You just have to click on Don't Lose Data and choose the drive you want to protect and the program will create a backup of all the files. Once you activate the switch, your files will be saved.

The second and main option of this software is to recover the deleted files. However, unlike the Recovery Vault, this function is not free, and you will have to pay to recover your data. Nevertheless, do not worry, because before paying, you can download the free program and scan your drive for hidden and deleted files, and if you find it´s what you need, you can decide if you want to buy it.
If you decide to recover your lost files, you will see that the process is quite simple. Within the program, you must search the drive you want to scan and the kind of files you want to find. Click on "Analysis" and the software will do the rest. The process can take more or less time, depending on the space of the disk.
