ow Recovery Software Works
Software recovery tools work by finding the fragments of deleted files and putting them back together. Even when you delete something, the pieces are still there and able to be recovered if the computer or other device are given the right information to do so.
How It Treats Your Files
Generally it does not delete any files, but may move them around to where they were when the files that are being looked for were originally. However, most softwares will simply recover the things that you need and place them in a new folder for you to review.
What Devices It Works With
PC is the most well known device for recovery, but anything with a working computerized part can have data recovery attempted on it. Phones, laptops, and smart devices will often have these procedures tried on them as well. Making sure that the software you are using is intended for your device is important as they are not generally interchangeable.
Overall Safety
As long as the software that you are using is certified and has been developed by a trustworthy team you shouldn't have any issues with it. Generally these pieces of software are created to make your life easier, and often they have a money back guarantee as well. It really is in the best interest of the software developers to make sure that they work. If you don't feel comfortable with the software, there are experts who can take away the rate of human error that is the most dangerous in the recovery process.
