Restoring data on Mac
Data recovery on Mac may be necessary in case of file deletion, disk formatting or operating system failure. In this article, I will talk about various methods and tools for successfully recovering lost data on Apple devices.
1. Time Machine: If you have activated the Time Machine backup function, this will be the easiest way to restore deleted data. Connect a storage device with a backup (hard disk or NAS) and start the "Time Machine" program. Select the desired point in time from the list of available copies and find your file.
2. macOS Disk Service Utilities: Open through Finder -> Programs -> Utilities -> macOS Disk Service.
– First Aid (Первая помощь): This function allows you to check the integrity of the hard disk and correct system file errors.
– Restore: Use this tool to clone the contents of one volume to another or create an image of the entire volume/documentation
– Erase/Partition. Be careful when using these options, as all data will be permanently deleted!
3. Programs for data recovery: There are many software solutions that will help you get back deleted files on Mac.
– Disk Drill: This is one of the most popular and reliable data recovery programs on macOS. It can scan your drive or device with a USB/SD card connection and detect lost data.

It is important to note that the faster you start the recovery process after accidentally deleting or formatting the disk, the more chances you have to get the full picture!
