DoYourData Recovery
DoYourData Recovery scans storage devices for files lost through deletion, formatting, partition loss, drive crashes, logical errors, or RAW drives. It supports hard drives, external drives, USB drives, memory cards, formatted partitions, PCs, HDDs, SSDs, cameras, RAID, and servers. Listed file systems include NTFS/NTFS+, exFAT, FAT12/16/32, ReFS, and EXT2/3/4. The software can recover documents, images, videos, audio, emails, archives, and other file types, and provides file preview. The free version can scan and preview recoverable files and save up to 1GB; the listed free plan is for Windows. Paid options include $49 a month, $69 a year, or $89, paid once, each as a one-time payment with no auto-renewal and covering two PCs. The Technician Lifetime License is $499 as a one-time purchase for 100+ PCs and business usage. The vendor says recovery is read-only and will not overwrite original lost data. Separate products are listed for Mac and iPhone; iPhone recovery is available for Windows and Mac.
