The new O&O Defrag 29: Maximum performance for your PC – now with an integrated Startup Manager! O&O DiskRecovery 14: Professional Data Recovery for Everyone
Wenn Daten verloren gehen, dann bedeutet dies im besten Fall den Verlust von ein paar Arbeitsstunden. Im schlimmsten Fall kann das gesamte Unternehmen gefährdet sein, wenn Kundendaten versehentlich oder mutwillig gelöscht wurden. Und im Zeitalter der Digitalfotografie bedeutet der Verlust von Fotos auch gleichzeitig den Verlust von vielen unwiederbringlichen Erinnerungen.
O&O DiskRecovery 14 can prove very helpful in cases like these. Thanks to its unique combination of three separate search algorithms, data can be recovered with just a few clicks and without expert IT ability. New signatures have been integrated into the new version 14, making it possible to recognize more than 400 different file types and versions. Among its many attributes, almost all Office documents up to and including version 2019 can now be recognized and recovered.
O&O DiskRecovery can be used on individual partitions and entire disks (including SSDs) as well as on USB devices such as sticks or external hard disks.
The important thing to remember in the event of data loss is to avoid saving anything on the disk involved. This can help avoid overwriting any deleted data. O&O DiskRecovery also offers a portable installation which lets users install the program on a second computer or USB stick so that data recovery can be started directly from there.
O&O DiskRecovery features a wizard that helps guide users intuitively and step by step through the recovery process.
The new version 14 is certified as Windows 10 compatible but it can still be installed on all Windows versions starting from Vista. The soon to be released Admin Edition offers an option for creating its very own Windows system so that O&O DiskRecovery can be started directly from a CD or USB. This allows the program to also recover files from additional Windows file systems such as FAT, FAT32 and NTFS in all versions starting from Windows NT 4 over Windows XP up to Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019.
Neue und überarbeitete Funktionen
O&O DiskRecovery in an emergency: data recovery with the O&O DiskRecovery 14 Instant Version can be carried out without overwriting important data. Installation is done over a second computer, and program files are made available on a portable disk or in the network. The start medium also contains O&O system recovery programs that are able to access the Windows Registry or files that have been saved. These programs make it possible to recover data even on Windows systems that are defective or no longer able to start.
Integrate data images: Data backups created by O&O DiskImage can be integrated into O&O DiskRecovery. O&O DiskImage can be used for creating forensic images that prevent data loss as a result of defective hardware. Such comprehensive images also backup supposedly free disk space so that data recovery can be performed at a later date without using the original hardware.
Different search algorithms: O&O DiskRecovery combines different recovery technologies that provide optimal results when used together as well as on their own. The quick scan finds deleted files immediately after they have been deleted. If data loss has occurred further in the past, the professional deep scan can search every sector of a disk to find the file signatures needed and then reconstruct them, even if the entire content of the disk has been deleted, formatted, or overwritten.
Filter feature: Scanning results can be filtered by size or chronology (creation/last change/last access) for increased clarity. Empty folders or files can also be hidden.

What to do in the event of a data loss
The areas on a hard disk or memory card where lost data is located are labeled “free“. Any write access can possibly overwrite lost data and thereby destroy it, because overwritten data cannot be restored using simple methods.
- Close all programs – if possible without saving any data. Any writing of data, especially temporary internet files, can result in permanent destruction of the data a user wants to recover.
- Stay calm: How was the data deleted? “Normally”? If so, the data is in the Recycle Bin and can be restored.
- If the data was really deleted, a data recovery program such as O&O DiskRecovery is required. This software should be downloaded and installed on a different partition from the one where data needs to be recovered (for example, “D:” instead of “C :”).
