How it works

From a dead drive
to protected files.

restoreit never installs on the affected device. It reads the drive, does the heavy lifting in the cloud, and hands you back the files you choose — all of it visible while it happens.

Read-onlyA read-only block handle. Zero disk-write operations on the source.
Streaming imagingSectors stream to the cloud as they're read — no local image is created.
Cloud carveDetection, scoring, reconstruction and verification all run in the cloud.
/ The pipeline

Six steps, fully in view.

This is exactly what the recovery engine does — and shows you — from connection to a protected vault.

01

Connect

Identify your device and connect it — over USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, a card reader or an enclosure. restoreit opens an encrypted, read-only session. Nothing is installed.

02

Stream

A read-only handle splits the disk into small, checksummed chunks and streams them to the cloud while the device stays on. No local image is written — zero disk-write on the source.

03

Carve

The engine finds recoverable files straight from the streamed data — by signature, filesystem metadata, or heuristic classification of fragments with no clear header.

04

Verify

Each file is reconstructed and given a confidence score from a safe, sandboxed test-open — so you see what will open cleanly and what may be partial, before you decide.

05

Restore

Pick what matters. restoreit rebuilds the selected files, hardens them with AES-256, and issues secure, time-limited downloads.

06

Protect

Recovered files stay encrypted in your restoreit Cloud Vault. Add more important files anytime — the recovery doesn't end at a download.

/ Built around the outcome

Every step points at getting the files back.

No guesswork, no risk to the drive you're trying to save, and a clear answer to "can this come back?" before you spend a thing.

/ Detection methods

How restoreit finds files.

A multi-layered approach means more of your files come back — even the fragmented and headerless ones.

Signature

Magic-byte carving

Files identified by standard header and footer patterns — the cleanest, highest-confidence recoveries.

Metadata

Filesystem recovery

Residual MFT, inode, or APFS structures are parsed to restore original filenames and folders.

Heuristic

Fragment classification

Fragments with no clear header are classified by content type and stitched back together by continuity.

/ The restoreit process

One process. The whole recovery.

restoreit runs every phase — it diagnoses, recovers, protects, and answers your questions, the moment you need it. Nothing to schedule, nothing to wait on.

restoreit · Diagnose

Intake

restoreit reads your situation and device, opens a read-only session, and prescribes the right recovery — no forms, no waiting.

restoreit · Recover

Carve

It streams, carves, scores, and reconstructs your files in the cloud, surfacing a verified manifest before you commit.

restoreit · Protect

Vault

It hardens the files you choose with AES-256 and keeps them in your vault — and watches over them if you stay protected.

Answers

restoreit answers anything — your scan, your files, billing, or policy — immediately, from any page or inside the engine.
