Is it possible to recover data from an SD card?
Wokiller If you’ve accidentally deleted files from your SD card or experienced data loss, Windows File History can be a lifesaver for recovering your important data. File History is a built-in feature in Windows that automatically backs up files from libraries, desktop, favorites, and contacts to an external drive, including an SD card if configured. To start using File History for recovery, you need to have previously set it up and had your SD card included in the backup process.
To recover data from an SD card using File History, first, ensure your SD card is connected to your Windows PC. Open the Control Panel and navigate to "File History." From there, select "Restore personal files." You’ll see a timeline of backed-up files; browse through to find the versions of the files you wish to restore. Select the files or folders you need and click the green "Restore" button to retrieve them to their original location or an alternative location if you prefer.
It's essential to regularly back up your data to avoid potential loss. While File History can be an incredibly useful SD data recovery software on Windows, its effectiveness depends on having it properly configured beforehand.
Plus, if you hadn’t set up File History before the data loss, this method won't help you recover the lost files. In such cases, you may need to resort to third-party SD data recovery software specifically designed to retrieve data from SD cards. Regularly checking and updating your backup settings ensures you have a reliable way to restore important files whenever necessary.
