The best recovery programs for Mac
If data is lost on the Mac, recovery tools can sometimes be used to recover it. However, these are not always reliable or sufficient for your own needs. There are not many programs for this, especially under OS X. We bring light into the dark and show you the three best recovery programs for your Mac.
Mac recovery: EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard
- Recovering data that was accidentally deleted or otherwise lost is not always easy. With EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, however, you are close.
- It restores data simply and reliably. EaseUS Data Recovery is available as a free version for download. If you often have to deal with lost data, a license is worthwhile (for about 85 euros).
Mac recovery: Prosoft Data Rescue 4
- Prosoft has been manufacturing data recovery products for a long time and is very reliable.
- The user interface of the recovery program is intuitive and clear. Data Rescue 4 can still restore files even on faulty boot media.
- The price model is also appealing: there is a free version for users who only need to restore a small amount of data. If you only want to restore up to 250 GB of data, there is the Lite version (currently $ 49). For frequent users there are of course the larger and accordingly more expensive versions.
- You can download the Mac recovery program from the manufacturer's website.
Mac recovery: TestDisk & Photorec
- With Testdisk & Photorec you can restore deleted files and partitions. With Photorec, you can also easily read out memory cards that may have accidentally deleted pictures or videos.
- With Testdisk, whole partitions can even be repaired automatically. The best thing about the tool is that it is completely free. You can find the recovery program in our download portal.
