From the lands to the north, Canadian developer MiniTool Solutions has issued forth Mac Data Recovery 3.0 (http://mac.powerdatarecovery.com), a recovery utility that seeks to follow in the footsteps of established players like Prosoft’s Data Rescue (https://www.prosofteng.com/data-rescue-4/) line and 508 Software’s Disk Drill (http://www.cleverfiles.com) while adding a few new tricks in the process.</p><p>
Launch the MiniTool Data Recovery program, enter your Mac’s admin password and you’re presented with four primary functions: Undelete Recovery, Damaged Partition Recovery, Lost Partition Recovery and Digital Media Recovery. The four functions are fairly self-explanatory, but MiniTool takes a different approach that has to be considered. Instead of centering itself as a Mac product, the program offers support for file architectures typically associated with Windows volumes: NTFS, FAT16, FAT32, etc. This offers an unexpected new aspect, especially if you have a Boot Camp or old hard drive from a Windows or Linux machine that you’d like to haul old files from.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3040094/macs/minitool-data-mac-recovery-30-review-tool-with-unique-features-ui-quirks.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
