These days we store all our important data like documents, videos, audio, etc. on our computers. But, since a computer is a machine, we cannot be 100% sure that our data will always be safe. The hardware of the computer can fail and corrupt the data. Or someone can mistakenly erase or format their hard disk and lose the data.

In such scenarios, people would rush to the data recovery shop and spend hundreds of dollars to recover the data. But not anymore, as we bring to you an easy to use data recovery software that will take care of all your data recovery needs without any external help. The name of the software is iBoysoft Data Recovery, a detailed review of which you will find in this article.

iBoysoft Data Recovery Review

This software can recover any type of data be it videos, documents, pictures, and audio. It scans the targeted partition, disk or external drive to detect the removed or deleted data and then shows the full list on the screen. There are basically two modes of scanning, the fast one and the deep one. Fast mode quickly shows the result while the deep mode takes quite a bit time to do that, but it scans the device thoroughly.

Technical Details

Here are the technical aspects of the software you should know before buying it.

1. Supported Operating Systems

The iBoysoft Data Recovery software runs on Windows (XP to Windows 10). And supports macOS from version 10.7 (Lion) to 10.15(Catalina).

2. Supported File Formats

It supports almost every format on Windows and Mac. For example, on Windows, it supports formats like NTFS4, NTFS5, FAT16, FAT32, and exFAT. And on Mac, it supports formats like APFS, encrypted APFS, exFAT, FAT32 HFSX, HFS, and HFS+.

3. Supported Devices

The iBoysoft is a very powerful recovery software and it can not just recover data from the internal storage of your device, but also from external devices like Hard drives, CF cards, memory cards, flash drives, etc.

Key Features

The iBoysoft Data Recovery is feature-rich software that can match all your data recovery needs. And here’s a list of few important features.

1. Recover Encrypted Data

A very cool and important feature of this software is that it can recover the encrypted data you may have lost. If you are a Windows user then you can recover the BitLocker data using it. Or if you happen to be a Mac user then encrypted APFS data is easily recoverable using the iBoysoft Data Recovery software as well.

Here we are testing the Home edition in which the Bitlocker data recovery option is not available. For recovering the encrypted data you must choose the Professional or the Technician edition.

2. Recover Data From Lost Partition

It’s quite easy to recover data from lost partition using this software on Windows or Mac. All you need to do is to go to the Find More Partitions option on the software and then wait for the deleted or lost partition to show up. Once you find the partition just go through it and restore the data you want to recover, it’s that simple.

3. Data Recovery From Inaccessible Disks

Another amazing feature of this software is recovering data from RAW, corrupted and unreadable disks. Use the Deep scan mode to run a deep diagnosis on the corrupted disk and most certainly you will be able to recover data from it.

4. Preview Function And Pre-Recovery File Filter

The pre-recovery file filter lets you filter out the type of file you want to show before recovering the data. On the other hand, the Preview function is there for you to preview the recovered file before restoring it to your device. However, the preview file function does not work for all file formats.

5. Save And Load Sessions

You can actually save your scanned result on this software if you are running out of time and use these results later to recover data. Once saved the result, you can load the particular session and easily restore data from it.

Pricing

The iBoysoft Data Recovery software is basically free to use software but you can only recover data up to 1 GB in the free version. However, if you want to recover more data then you can opt-in for any of the three paid editions from Home, Professional, and Technician as per your choice.

Our Experience

We really enjoyed using the iBoysoft Data Recovery software, its small in size and can be used on any computer be it old or new. The system requirements are fewer hence it runs smoothly on a computer of low configuration even. However, if you are a little impatient then you won’t like the Deep scan mode on it as it takes a lot of time to scan the partitions. But, overall the software is easy to use and delivers what it promises.

Should You Buy It?

Data recovery is something we all need at one time or other so it’s better to buy this software in advance. However, you need not buy the most expensive edition if you don’t want it.

You can go for the Home Edition, it is also good to recover data on your own.

But, you should also remember that no recovery software can give you a full guarantee of recovering all of your data. Nonetheless, we would still recommend you to install this software as it is free to use and you can recover up to 1 GB of data absolutely free of cost. You can give it a try from the iBoysoft official website.
