FAQs 1. What does the demo version of Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery do?
Through the demo version of Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery software you can scan the storage
medium from which you wish to recover data and preview files that the software will be able to
recover. The demo version of Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery allows you can see the preview of
files having size up to 10 MB after scanning. To recover and save files, you need to purchase and
register the product.
2. Can I recover data from drive that contains bad sectors using Stellar Phoenix Mac Data
Recovery?
Yes absolutely. To safely recover data from a drive with bad sectors, create an image of that drive.
Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery is equipped with a feature through which you can easily create
such images of drives and securely attempt recovery. After successful image creation, run a scan on
this image to recover lost data easily.
3. Can I save my recovered data on the same drive?
The software will not allow you to write data on the same drive from which you attempt recovery as a
safeguard so that there is no over writing of data which may result in permanent data loss.
4. Do my media need to be connected to the system throughout the recovery process?
Yes. It is very important that you do not remove your media during scanning or recovery process as
during this process the software reads & accesses all information present on the hard drive and
reports it. Media should only be detached after recovery process has been completed.
5. How is media image file beneficial to recovery process?
Creating media image has the following advantages:
Image file helps to speed up scanning and recovery.
Prevents a drive with bad sectors to get damaged further and dilute data recovery prospects
You can recover data from image file even if the source media is not available.
6. How can I recover files/folders deleted during a specific time span?
To recover files/folders deleted during a specific time span, use Filter List option in the preview
window. For more details, please refer Recover Filtered Files topic of this help.
7. Is it possible to recover files of specific size only?
56
Yes, to know how to recover files of specific size only, please Recover Filtered Files topic of this
help.
8. I wish to recover files of a specific format only. Is it possible to recover files of only specific
format?
Yes, you can recover files as per your requirements using Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery. To
recover files of a specific format only, check whether this file format is supported by the application. If
it is supported by the application, apply filter to recover files of this specific format. If this file type is
not supported by the application, add this file type to the list of supported file types and then apply
filter to recover your file.
9. What is the difference between 'Quick scan' and 'Deep scan'?
'Quick scan' thoroughly scans hard drive for deleted files in seconds. This recovers your recently
deleted files/folders, or files/folders that are not on a damaged or corrupted drive. On the other hand,
'Deep scan' digs through the bits and bytes of hard drive and finds absolutely everything that can be
recovered. Time taken in 'Deep scan' depends on the size of hard drive but the recovery results are
worth the wait.
10. What is Raw Recovery?
Raw recovery searches for signature of files. That means it recovers files based on signature. Raw
Recovery should be used when results of Quick Recovery are not satisfactory. Raw Recovery may
take more time but has greater chance to discover lost data.
11. Inadvertently, I have deleted some files / folders from Trash just now. Can I recover these
files/folders quickly without having to wait for scanning to finish?
Certainly. To recover recently deleted data, stop the scanning process before it starts reading sectors
of unused blocks. You will see the list of recently deleted file / folders in the preview window. Select
desired files/folders and recover them. This way, Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery recovers
recently deleted files/folders with their complete information within a few minutes.
12. Can I Resume Recovery using an image created by any third party application?
This software recovers data from images created by itself only.
13. Can I retrieve data from any CD / DVD discs?
Yes, all optical discs are detected by the drive and you can safely recover data from them.
57
14. Can I recover data from severely damaged CD / DVD?
Yes, through the Optical Media Recovery feature you can extract all data from severely damaged
optical media. This recovery option recovers everything that is found in the selected source.
15. Is recovery possible from partially burned / incomplete disc?
Yes, Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery is capable of recovering data from partially burned discs as
well.
16. Does 'Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery' extract all file systems in a multi-session disc?
Yes, the software scans entire disc and lists out all sessions that it finds. You can then select the
required file systems and recover your precious data.
17. I have burned some documents and photos to audio CD, but the drive is showing only audio
files. Can I get those data files from CD?
Yes, Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery is capable of recovering data from mixed mode CD. It can
also extract data from CDs which have changed mode during multi session writing.
18. How much time will Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery take to recover my data?
The time taken in recovering data depends on the size of the drive to be scanned. However, to speed
up the recovery process, you can apply filters so that only desired files get scanned and recovered.
19. Can I attach another hard disk/media to my computer while Stellar Phoenix Mac Data
Recovery is running on the computer?
Yes you certainly can.
