Quick Scan

For most cases, we recommend that you try a Quick Scan first. If Data Rescue can find your files in this mode, it is the best way for you to recover them. Many times you will need to do a more thorough scan, but since a Quick Scan doesn’t take nearly as much time to do as a Thorough Scan, it still pays to try it first. Quick Scans typically take only a few minutes to perform, unless your drive is having hardware problems, in which case it can be considerably longer.
