Setting up Recovery Wizard
The data recovery procedure with Raise Data Recovery can be optimized by modifying the software settings. At the same time, from the very beginning, the settings are configured to match the most appropriate defaults.
The application provides a list of settings that allow adjusting further work with files at the very first step. The software settings include the choice of an encoding for file names and the types of user files for search.
File name encoding settings
Raise Data Recovery lets you change the default encoding settings at the stage when the application shows all detected files. However, if you are not familiar with file name encodings, proceed with the default settings.
The software settings also let you define the proper standard for the representation of file names in the program.
Raise Data Recovery suggests the following options for the encoding settings: encoding for file names in Legacy (non-Unicode) Windows, DOS and Linux/Unix systems. You can choose the needed one from the drop-down lists at the end of each field.
The Re-encode UTF-16 (Linux/Unix) settings optionallows you to change the Unicode UTF-16 encoding into the one which is typical for your file system. If the file system uses UTF-16 Unicode (such as the Linux JFS file system), its file names can be saved in UTF-16. If the file system uses any other encoding, confirm this by pressing Yes for the correct representation of file names.
File search settings
Raise Data Recovery allows specifying the desirable scenario of the search for lost files. By default, the software will search for lost and deleted files. All other options can be adjusted by selecting Skip or Search from the drop-down list at the end of a corresponding field.
These options include:
From Recycle Bin– sets the program to check the Recycle Bin of the local PC for lost, deleted and currently present data. The option is activated by default.
By known content– when set to Search, the software scans both the metadata and content disk areas and will provide more advanced recovery results included into the folder Extra found files. When set to Skip, the software conducts a simple search and doesn't create the additional Extra found files folder in order to save RAM.
Small file systems– when activated, the option makes the software scan the file system and find small file systems possibly contained within system files. As diskette file systems are no longer popular, the option is set to Skip.
If there are no user files– if activated, the option enables scanning of the file systems that contain user files. If the file system contains system files only, Skip lets the software omit the file systems that do not include users’ files.
