The Professional Edition of Lazesoft Data Recovery adds to the program’s ability to recover lost, deleted, and corrupted files and partitions, the possibility of creating a bootable ISO image that you can use to access your computer from either a CD or a USB drive.
The program is equally useful for recovering disk drives, partitions, dynamic volumes, or any other storage media that have been formatted or has turned unusable due to a logical crash. Files with sensitive data and information can also be lost due to various reasons – accidental deletion, virus attacks, power failure, software crashes, etc. Whatever the problem is, the program will scan the selected drive thoroughly, offering you detailed information about all the lost files that have been detected and can be retrieved. You can filter your scan results by file type or by path (provided you remember where the file in question used to be). When filtering by type, the program will list all the file types it found when scanning your drives, thus making the process a lot easier. A second filter will allow you to narrow your search a bit more – you can tell the program to show you only those files that within a specific size range or those modified during a specific period of time.
You will be able to make use of this powerful tool only if your system is capable of starting your Windows OS. Thus, you are strongly advised to create a bootable ISO image as soon as you install the program, which will help you to access your system in case of a major system failure. This will allow you to access certain corrupted partitions and the system files necessary to make your computer usable again. This feature is the only substantial difference between this professional version and two free versions available for this tool – a feature that is certainly worth paying for.
