Media recovery is an extremely broad term as obviously there are so many different types of digital storage methods. If we were to look back on the evolution of digital storage devices we would begin with examination of mid 1980s 5 1/4 inch floppy disks. For today’s digital storage problems we can eliminate these first floppies as potential targets. The next generation of floppy disks were 3 1/2 inch 1.44 MB floppies. These are still in use today albeit there use being extremely limited. Most digital media retrieval problems presented today deal with loss of files on such common devices as camera memory cards, compact flash cards and DVDs. As far as recovery of lost information on DVDs is concerned the basic procedure to restore that data is simply to the resurface the disk.
Using FileFinder for media recovery concerns us with scanning for music files, pictures and documents. While many file rescue programs claimed to specialize in one of these areas or another FileFinder was designed for basic undeletion of any file type such as JPEGs, DOCs and application files. If you are still using 3 1/2 inch floppies FileFinder will also serve you very well as a floppy disk data retrieving tool.
