While often downloaded in a .rar archive, a paid license from Runtime Software is required to actually recover files; the free trial only previews them.

The software employs escalating scanning algorithms—from quick deletion recovery (Levels 1 & 2) to deep, time-consuming scans (Levels 3 & 4) that rebuild lost file system structures.

Despite its depth, the software is famously fast. A Level 1 scan on a 107GB SSD takes under 90 seconds, while deep scans are proportionally fast.
