You keep your original damaged disk (all data on it remains untouched), and just copy all your valuable information to a dedicated attached HDD/SDD, external USB Disk or USB Flash Card. This approach is the safest way to get all your data backed up to a new safe place (storage), however this is also the slowest way. RAID Disk Array crashed and needs to be re-builtĬopying All Volume Data to another Location.Partition or volume has been formatted accidentally.


Possible scenarios when this is applicable: You just want to restore all live (non-deleted) volume data (files and folders) to another media in a single operation. There are other scenarios when you do not want to recover your data in-place. In this case you should try the second option: copy all existing data from the corrupted volume to a new physical disk. However, if some data overwriting occurred, or damage to the file system took place, Windows might not recognize the recovered volume (a drive with an assigned letter does not appear), or you may get messages like "Drive is not accessible". In this case the recovery process is very fast, and you'll be able to access your files using Windows Explorer (or any other program) immediately after recovery.
