Accidentally deleting important files is one of the oldest and most painful problems faced by computer users – and a concern that most computer users will face at one time or another. Coupled with corrupted drives or SD cards, the accidental (or incidental) loss of data can be extremely frustrating and time consuming. Overview There have been many answers to the plague of lost data over the years – and Cleverfiles has come up with a solution of their own that just might save your bacon when the unthinkable happens. Enter Disk Drill Pro ($62.30) – a powerful yet simple tool for protecting your data and recovering deleted files. Disk Drill Pro combines a variety of innovative features and a simple, clean interface for monitoring and protecting your data – and most importantly, powerful tools for recovering that data when you accidentally delete it or something goes wrong. We took the latest version of the tool through it’s paces to see what it really has to offer! Design / Interface The beauty of Disk Drill is that it is designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind. Recovering lost data is a simple three-step process of selecting the drive the data is on, scanning the drive, then choosing the files you would like to recover.

You can even choose which type(s) of files to scan for before beginning the scan, which can make it faster to recover a certain file you may have lost or accidentally deleted. You can also pause and resume scans to ensure you can use the full power of your Mac during the day without having to restart the scanning process over again. The interface is divided into two simple sections – one for protection, and one for recovery. Using Disk Drill could not be more straightforward. There aren’t a lot of windows, panes, and configuration options to get lost in.

Even if you do happen to lose your way in the app, there are a number of helpful prompts throughout to help you find your place again. Simply put, Disk Drill is the fastest and simplest way I have found to date for recovering lost files – and much of that is due to the enormous attention to detail put into the software’s interface. Features • Recovery Vault At the heart of Disk Drill is a unique feature called Recovery Vault. This is what separates Disk Drill from any other data recovery program I have seen. Recovery Vault keeps a watchful eye on your Mac while you use it, keeping a complete log of every file you ever delete.

This makes it even faster and easier to find and recover specific files – finding a lost file takes a matter of just a few minutes. Best of all, Recovery Vault runs quietly in the background, and takes up very few system resources while it is running. It’s important to note that Recovery Vault is not a complete backup for your Mac – it’s just a database of deleted files. As such, it’s important to keep a complete separate backup of your Mac using Time Machine or some other method. After all, regularly backing up your Mac is the best way to protect against data loss. As with most things, prevention is the best way to make sure you don’t lose important files.
