Application Log

This Log View reflects every action taken by the application and displays messages, notifications and other service information. Use the messages in this screen to observe and further analysis of the recovery process.

To open and activate Application Log View do one of the following:

  • From main menu choose Tools > Application Log or
  • Use F8 keyboard shortcut at any time

It is best to save the log file to a physical disk (different from the disk that holds the deleted data). By doing this you reduce the risk of writing over the data that you are trying to recover.
