EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard

What is EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard?

EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard is a dedicated data recovery tool that helps you recover lost, deleted, or inaccessible files from hard drives, SSDs, USB drives, memory cards, and other storage media. It supports quick scans and deep scans, with a user-friendly wizard to guide you through the restoration process.

EaseUS employs a two-stage scan engine (quick scan followed by deep scan) to locate recoverable files by signatures and metadata. It previews results and enables selective restoration while minimizing risk of overwriting data.

Types of Recovery Processes

• Main Wizard Process: Core application window and user interface (1 instance)
• Scan Engine: Quick and Deep scan operations across connected drives
• Preview Process: File preview and filtering of recoverable items
• Recovery Engine: Actual restoration and writing recovered files to a destination
• Metadata Engine: File signatures and metadata analysis
• Background Monitor: Optional drive monitoring for new recoverable data

Yes, easeus-data-recovery is safe when it's the legitimate file from EaseUS downloaded from official sources (easeus.com) or pre-installed by the device manufacturer.

Is easeus-data-recovery a Virus or Malware?
