Q: Recovering data on Mac

Does anybody know how to SAVE recovered files on Mac? I used Stellar data recovery software and I am being asked for a key (some sequences of strokes) which I do not have unless I am willing pay.

    Elzach,

    If you aren't willing to pay, then your data is not worth the reason for your recovery.

     

    Free and almost free data backup solutions exist so you don't have to pay a lot for data recovery.  In the future always backup your data.  Your data is your responsibility.

     

    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992 lists many solutions for backing up your data and data recovery. Some might pay thousands if their hardware fails to recover data.  So getting a key for a cheaper recovery software should not be an imposition.  I'm sorry, but all data medium fail at some point.  No virus, nor spyware need to be involved to cause data integrity to be lost.
