Data recovery is a term applied to the retrieval procedure involved in getting back lost data from a corrupt partition in the hard disk drive. Hard Disk being a secondary storage device consists of various partition tables and indexes in order to keep the data secure and synchronized. But often users of various operating systems including those of Mac based operating systems face the problem of corrupted partition information which leads to irrecoverable data loss. The partition either gets deleted completely or is shown in the Computer browser as lost partition with no data availability. Often users complain about important data being lost due to corrupt partition. This might lead to deletion of personal data, files and folders containing images, videos, data files, documents, music files etc… Though the user might keep his or her system safe but often due to physical damage, damage due to surge in the electric lines and even due to intermittent power failures the hard disk partitions gets corrupted. In such
cases even having UPS might not help completely in saving the partition information.

There are various ways in which the data from the lost partitions can actually be retrieved, but it can be categorized into two major types as Software Retrieval and Industry Oriented Forensic Retrieval. Industry oriented Forensic or chemical retrieval allows the user the retrieve most of the lost data though the charges of data recovery goes very high and the user is often charged based on MB of data recovery. More the data being retrieved more is the charge and thus this process is often used by corporate companies as a process of data recovery. But for personal data recovery, this system is generally not opted for and people goes with software based data retrieval. Though a lot of software companies have come up with the idea of data recovery software, few are actually effective in terms of efficient data recovery. Especially Software companies often target Windows based systems for the developing platforms of these data recovery software. Therefore the windows users benefit more from these marketed produc
ts.

One of the most popular mac operating system based data recovery software is the Wondershare’s Disk Manager. Though it seems to be similar to the disk manager software which often accompanies our Hard Disk drives for free, this software contains a lot of features which are absent in those disk utilities. From partition creation to modifying, managing and deleting, till software even allows the user to manage his or her secondary storage devices and that too for free of cost. With Mac OS X gaining grounds in terms of public response due to its newly added features, data recovery for mac is a must and if that software comes for free then it is the best option for the general home users. With interactive but simple user interface and a wizard to help the users in the disk based operations and its management this software has now been launched for the Mac OS X Lion 10.7 to allow file recovery for mac based systems.
