New Version of Kroll Ontrack EasyRecovery for Windows and MacOS

Kroll Ontrack, LLC released a new version of Ontrack EasyRecovery for Windows and MacOS.

The do-it-yourself software is designed to help individual and business users, as well as service providers, to retrieve data from internal HDDs and SSDs, as well as from any type of external media, such as flash drives or SD cards.

The software is capable of recovering damaged or deleted files, as well as data from formatted or corrupted volumes or initialized disks. The new version comes with a series of enhanced features, including a new scan engine and a simplified user interface that allows users to recover data with minimal effort. The firm also introduces a dedicated version for third party IT vendors and service providers.

Bundle of new features makes data recovery easier
Home users looking for simple and intuitive data recovery software, as well as organizations in need of a in-house data recovery tool, can now benefit from a new scanning engine that provides faster recovery speeds.

Additional enhancements allow users to:
• Save scans, pause and resume the recovery process: Users can choose between quick and advanced scanning options depending on the data loss scenario. The new software release also gives users the ability to save completed scans, as well as pause and resume the recovery process at any time.
• Preview files: Users may preview recoverable files before they are recovered. Ontrack EasyRecovery scans the storage media, lists all lost or deleted files and then classifies them in Tree View, File Type and Deleted List. In addition, the software provides the option to preview files while scanning the media.
• Create disk images: Users have the option to create a disk image of any drive, partition or volume, and recover data from any previously created images. This includes, creating images of HDDs, existing logical volumes and any removable media devices.

“The new release of Ontrack EasyRecovery comes with a series of frequently-requested features that make data recovery easier than ever. This includes the possibility to save scans, pause and resume the recovery process whenever necessary or preview files to optimize recovery choices,” said Chris Weiler, president and CEO, KrolLDiscovery. “With the user in mind, we have enhanced the scope of features for a better, state-of-the-art recovery outcome and have updated the software to also support the latest MacOS and Windows versions.”
