Recover deleted data from a drive

OK so I understand there is FileSalvage for $99 but isn't there a way of doing it for free??!!
On the PC there was a tonne of free programs for undeleting things.. And it was easy.
Does anyone know of a FREE tool that works with Mac. Can Disk Utility undelete things? If not, why not???
Thanks amigos

"Does anyone know of a FREE tool that works with Mac."
In a word, no. None that I'm aware of anyway. Developing recovery software costs money, so why give the product away free?

The free download allows you to check a drive to ensure the data is recoverable before you splash out your money.

Similarly allows a free check before paying.

  • I need to recover deleted data from my iPhone 4S but don't have a recent backup. I thought by pressing sync on my macbook this would back up-but I was wrong. There are no backups on my macbook and the latest backup on iCloud was Jan 2012. Please help

    I need to recover deleted data from my iPhone 4S but don't have a recent backup. I thought by pressing sync on my macbook this would back up…but I was wrong. There are no backups on my macbook and the latest backup on iCloud was Jan 2012. My mum died in May and I had lots of text messages that I wanted to keep. I really want to get them back. Is there any way at all I can get that deleted data from the phone?

    Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer.  As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
    You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you.  I'm sure you'll pay, however.
    Let this be a very important lesson learned.
    Best.

  • Can i recover lost data from encrypted drive by Bitlocker

    Hello Dears. I had encrypted my drive by Bitlocker in windows 7. 
    few days after my friend did quick format in my encrypted drive.
    my 300 gb of data lost. and nothing saved
    i remember unlock password. 
    how can i recover my data ??? i need my data
    i tried drive recovering tools (advanced EFS data recovery, easeus . . ,) . but . . . it's encrypted and formatted drive. 
    can i undo quick format and decrypt ???
    sorry my english is not good.
    someone help me please. 

    BitLocker is not the cause of failed to recover files. 
    Format a drive will clear all data saved on the hard disk. Thus recovery formatted data will be a hard disk based technology but not related to operation system. There is no build-in data recovery feature in Windows operations. So we will needto use third party recovery tool or contact third party data recovery company for current issue.
    As recovery missing data service will be expensive, we can also check emails and contact friends to see if that can help get a part of files back especially for photos, documents etc.

  • Is there a way to recover deleted data from a network drive?

    I accidentally deleted a client folder from an ethernet network drive. I tried using data recovery softwares but they don't map network drives. Any suggestion?

    Use your backup, if you have no backup then you'll need help from one of the professional data recovery services, but you will pay highly for that.
    You do backup your clients folders I assume?

  • How to recover deleted data in os/400

    Hi ,
    Can anybody let me know how to recover deleted data from a table in os/400 .
    Thanks in advance .
    Thanks & Regards
    Dhaval Raje

    Hi Dhaval,
    unfortunately this highly depends on the thing you did :-((
    In general SAP says (with good reason!): You recover nothing or the COMPLETE DB - otherwise it could be inconsistent. In your cae, that means, you go back to the error case.
    For experts RSTOBJ of this table would be of help. But, then you need to know what happened in detail and you need to be familiar with the dependent files like indexes & views.
    So, if this is a test system, I would go back to an olde backup, if this is productive, I would ask a good DB2 for iSeries basis consultant. That is a problem, that can be solved.

  • Will upgrading to windows 10 delete the data from all drives

    A notification for upgrade to windows 10 is available for my mentioned notebook. I've never upgraded to a newer version of windows earlier so i wanna be sure if the upgradation would delete all the data from each drive(i.e. windows drive"c" along with D,E and F)) and what is the total amount of NET-DATA(in MB) will be used for Upgrading online..so that i might not run out of data balance during upgradation process. One more thing..currently the windows 10 logo has arrived at the bottom right of my task bar. Do REPLY asap!!!

    Always back up your data when upgrading! It will only if you tell it to during setup.  I would not upgrade untill you have backed up important data manually (copy>paste) to another external hard drive.

  • Need to recover my data from guess account.

    I don't know what happen, I was using my laptop and it went grey, and i don't want to reboot my system because
    i need to recover my data from the guess account. I know if i reboot the system i will lose everything in my guess
    account.  Is there anyway i can recover my data.

    Nothing you can do, it's going to need to be rebooted to fix it.
    You can install OS X on a external drive and download $100 Data Rescue to read the 1's and 0's of deleted files on a hard drive (not a SSD) you can't have Filevault on neither.
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Once you do that then you can fix the machine.

  • Recovering lost data from a very old backup (disaster recovery)

    Hi all,
    I am trying to restore and recover data from an old DAT-72 cassette. All I know is the date when the backup was taken, that is back in November 2006. I do not know the DBID or anything else except for the date.
    To recover this, I bought an internal SCSI HP c7438a DAT-72 tape drive on eBay and installed it on a machine running Windows 2003 Server SP2. I made a fresh Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition installation. HP tape drivers have been installed and Windows sees the tape drive without problem. To act as a Media Manager, I have installed Oracle Secure Backup. Oracle Secure Backup sees the HP tape drive without problems as well.
    I have to admit my information about Oracle is not very in-depth. I read quite a lot of documents, but the more I read the more confused I become. The closest thing I can find to my situation is the following guide about disaster recovery:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10500_01/server.920/a96566/rcmrecov.htm#1007948
    I tried the suggestions in this document without success (details below).
    My questions are:
    1. Is it possible to retrieve data without knowing the DBID?
    2. If not, is it possible to figure out the DBID from the tape? I tried to use dd in cygwin, also booted with Knoppix/Debian and Ubuntu CDs to dump the contents of the tape with dd but all of them failed to see the tape device. If there is any way to dump the raw contents of the tape on Windows, I would also welcome input.
    3. Is there any way at all to recover this data from the tape given all the unknowns?
    Thanks very much in advance,

    Hi 845725,
    If the backups were created with OSB might be you can query the tape with obtool.
    http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10gR2/backup.102/b14236/obref_oba.htmTo list pieces you could use <lspiece> within obtool.
    http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10gR2/backup.102/b14236/obref_oba.htm#BHBBIFFEIf this works you should be able to identify the controlfile autobackup if it has the standard naming < c-dbid-date-xx > and you than know the DBID or you are able to restore a controlfile from a backup piece in the output list.
    Might be you have to install 9i or 10g rdbms software as 11g was released a year later in 2007.
    Anyway goodluck.
    Regards,
    Tycho
