How Disk Image Recovery Works

A disk image is a file-based copy of a storage device. If files were deleted or lost before the image was created, they may still be recoverable from the image file.

Rtriva scans disk image files in read-only mode to find recoverable data without changing the original image.

1

Safely load disk image file

Rtriva opens supported disk image files as virtual drives without writing data.

2

File system and signature scanning

The software identifies recoverable files based on remaining file records and file signatures.

3

Clear recovery results

Recoverable files are listed with names, formats, and preview availability before you proceed with recovery.

Important Note

Disk image recovery works best when the image was created before data loss occurred.
