Seanate Data Recovery

Backing up your important files is the best way to avoid losing them, but it is often possible to recover data lost in certain circumstances if you act quickly.

Seanate Data Recovery is a relatively simple utility that can help you retrieve deleted or lost files from hard drives and disk images. It offers a very limited set of features, however, and its user interface needs many improvements.

First of all, it is worth noting that this application is only designed to recover images, videos and songs. A complete list of the supported formats is not available, so it may be wise to try the demo version in order to ensure your lost files can be retrieved.

Images can be previewed before they are saved, making it easier to find the right files. The built-in search function can also prove helpful in this situation.

Initially, you will be asked to select the drive you wish to scan, but you also have the option of importing a disk image file.

Next, you can specify how the files were lost, an important step that can help the application determine which retrieval method is best suited for the task at hand.

However, you cannot exclude certain types of files from the scan in order to speed up the process, and no other advanced parameters can be customized.

While the UI looks decent enough, the application’s biggest issue is the quality of the English translation. Some descriptions are very difficult to understand, which means this tool is not particularly novice-friendly.

Less experienced users should also know that no documentation is available for the Windows version of Seanate Data Recovery.

This is a basic recovery solution that may help you retrieve your lost files when it comes down to it, but it needs to be improved in many respects before it can become a real alternative to established software.
