Top Wise Data Recovery Alternatives

Wise Data Recovery, a product of WiseCleaner, is a professional data recovery tool that recovers any type of files that has been accidentally or permanently deleted from the system. This includes lost images, videos, documents and emails. Data can also be recovered from local drives and removable devices such as USB drives, SD cards, mobile phones, digital cameras and the likes. It also supports data recovery from File Allocation Table (FAT), New Technology File System (NTFS), Ext2 and Ext3 file systems. Wise Data Recovery is available to users in a free and a paid (Wise Data Recovery Pro) variant.

User Guide

The Wise Data Recovery software can be easily downloaded from the internet. Once installed, the software is quite simple to use. After launching the program, the first thing one encounters is a drop-down menu of drives. Here you need to select the drive where the lost data were. Having selected the drive, the ‘Scan’ option has to be selected. Here the drop-down menu states two different methods of scanning data.

Scanning of data

The ‘Quick Scan’ option only conducts a short time scan and allows recovery of recently deleted data. The ‘Deep Scan’ option does a more thorough scan throughout the selected driver and allows recovery of more lost files, even data lost due to formatting of the disk. Once the type of scan is determined, the software shows the entire list of lost data and subsequently shows the status of recovery. While most of the lost data is recoverable, some files may be permanently damaged due to virus infection or the trace has been removed completely. In that case, those few files may not be recoverable. On selecting the file you want to recover from the list and pressing the recover button at the bottom of the window, you can successfully restore the lost file in your chosen directory.

Portability

Wise Data Recovery offers a portable version of the software. This quintessentially means the software need not be installed directly to the computer from which data has to be recovered. The software can be installed in a separate system, loaded onto a USB drive or flash drive and then plugged into the PC with the missing files. The software runs in a similar way as stated in the user guide but in this process, the portability allows you to avoid data overwriting.

Wise Data Recovery is a small and absolutely virus-free program which makes it suitable for everyday use. It provides data recovery support for both 64 bit and 32 bit Windows systems.  With secure online payment options and 60- day money-back guarantee, if there is accidental data loss, Wise Data Recovery is the first application you should go to.
