This recovery process starts with scanning the damaged storage device for deleted or lost file entries. The recovery software scans the file system and storage partitions to determine which files have chances of being recovered. You will then get an option to view the recoverable files and choose those which you wish to recover. You should always save the recovered data on a different storage device from the original to avoid overwriting the recoverable data. Initiating the process soon after data loss increases the chances of recovering your vital files such as documents, pictures, videos, and others.
