The following example demonstrates how to use the file explorer included in the Recovery Tool to copy local files to an external storage device.
-
After the Recovery Tool finishes scanning and attempting to repair the device, click Launch File Explorer on the Advanced Functions screen.
The file explorer window appears.
- Select the files or folders you want to copy.
-
Right click on the files or folders you want to copy, and select Copy on the context menu.
Alternatively, press CTRL + C to copy the selected files.
-
Connect an external storage device to the endpoint.
The file explorer displays a new sub-tree for the recently attached external storage device.
- Navigate to the external storage device, and locate a destination folder.
-
Right click on an empty area in the destination folder window, and select Paste on the context menu.
Alternatively, press CTRL + V to paste the selected files.
The file explorer pastes the files copied earlier in the destination folder.
Note:The Recovery Tool will decrypt files before adding them to the external device. Decryption using this function may take a long time. If you want to decrypt and copy all files on the drive, another alternative is to decrypt the entire drive using the Recovery Console.
