Step-by-Step Performance Test of MyRecover
In this section, we will create two test loss scenarios and use MyRecover to recover the data. We will show you the verdict of our test, so read on.
exam preparation:
Test Scenario 1: Accidental Deletion
We created a folder on the C drive that contains various types of files: PDF documents, JPEG images, MP4 video files, and several Excel spreadsheets. We then deleted the folder and emptied the Recycle Bin to simulate an accidental deletion.
Test Scenario 2: Format the Drive
We used a USB stick that had various files loaded on it, including large video files. Next, we will format the USB drive to simulate a scenario where the drive is accidentally formatted.
Test Procedure:
We download MyRecover and install it on our Windows computer. In MyRecover, hover your mouse over the C drive or the formatted USB drive, then click “Scan” to start scanning.
MyRecover will perform a quick or deep scan of all deleted files on the selected drive. We found that the scanning time is fast, about 4 minutes. Once the scan is complete, there are filter and preview features to quickly find and view the files you want.
After verifying the file content and integrity before recovery, click “Recover x files” and choose a recovery location other than the original one to avoid possible data overwriting.
Once the recovery is completed, we will go to the recovery location and check whether the recovered file (MP4 video) has been recovered successfully and whether there has been any data loss.
Rating:
- MyRecover’s user interface is intuitive. It recovers lost/deleted data in 3 easy steps on Windows.
- MyRecover did an excellent job in recovering files from deleted folders and formatted drives. However, you will encounter difficulties when dealing with corrupt files on formatted hard drives and damaged partitions.
- We enjoyed the speed and scans. This search is fast and finds the recoverable files better than we expected.
- Being able to preview files before retrieval was great, to make sure we could retrieve what we really needed.
In the End
The MyRecover test proved the reliability of the Windows recovery tool for data recovery needs. Moreover, this tool can easily and quickly recover data when your computer is unable to turn off. The MyRecover recovery process is safe and will not overwrite your existing data. If you need to recover lost data, MyRecover is definitely worth a try.
