Data recovery is a complex job and the possibility of data recovery depends on various factors. For instance, if you keep using your system after data loss, there are significant chances that you may overwrite a deleted file.

Once overwritten, it’s nearly impossible to recover such files with any data recovery software solution.

And that’s exactly the reason why Stellar Data Recovery software does not allow you to save recovered files back to the affected drive.

This is a safety measure that prevents you from saving recovered files on the source drive and helps avoid data overwriting which otherwise, as mentioned earlier, can cause permanent data loss beyond the scope of recovery.
