Why can’t the software recover files back to the original drive?

 Modified on: August 28, 2020 |    2451 views

Data recovery is a complex job and the possibility of data recovery depends on various factors. For instance, if you keep using your system after data loss, there are significant chances that you may overwrite a deleted file.

Once overwritten, it’s nearly impossible to recover such files with any data recovery software solution.

And that’s exactly the reason why Stellar Data Recovery software does not allow you to save recovered files back to the affected drive.

This is a safety measure that prevents you from saving recovered files on the source drive and helps avoid data overwriting which otherwise, as mentioned earlier, can cause permanent data loss beyond the scope of recovery.

Dear Paul,

We would like to inform you that the software will not allow to save the recovered data on the same drive to avoid overwritten activities.

It is recommended to save the another drive for better recovery result.
