No matter how late you might get for your office, college, date, or anywhere, you may forget to carry your car keys, wallet, or bag, but not your phone. Smartphones have made a permanent place in our subconscious memory that from boxers to trousers, living room to bedroom, we just can’t get enough of it. Instagram, Facebook, Whats App, Twitter, etc. have created a parallel world for us. But finding your phone dead suddenly can feel like losing a part of you, especially if it stored more memories than your mind.

Well, there is nothing much you can do if your phone is dead. Not even an online repair tool can help you. Yes, a phone repair service provider can be considered but beware; trust only the one who would not misuse your data for illicit means.

Someone who is not so technology-aware can easily get confused between the two very different processes- File Recovery | File Repair. Although some readers may find these two terms similar, they are not. You can consider the mechanism and objective of these processes to be as differentiating as it would be between "Purchasing a home" vs "constructing a home". It is imperative to comprehend the difference between File Recovery and File Repair; as only then you can choose the right software as per your requirement(s).

In order to understand this in simple words, you would require to use these two software when your partition or disk gets corrupted, reformatted, re partitioned, removed, or gets infected by a virus, system crash, or power failure. If you witnessed any of these events, the file on your device might get “Corrupted”, “Lost”, or Both. Most of the time, when a file is removed or a drive is reformatted, the file remains intact. It’s just the system no longer knows the location of data. For these situations, you would want to consider a File Recovery or Data Recovery software. Such applications can help scan the disk for lost or removed files.

You can access the recovered file immediately when that file is comparatively small, and intact, and the disk is not yet overwritten. However, in other conditions, if the parts of the files are missing, damaged, or overwritten, you might not be able to access them unless all the necessary fragments are available. Even when you have recovered a file, if the application is notifying you that the file is corrupt, damaged, or unrecognizable, then you will need to rebuild it first. This is where the File Repair software comes into the picture.

While file recovery tools work for almost all file formats, a file repair tool can be used on limited applications (such as Word, Excel, Outlook, and Outlook Express) as they are based on specialized technology. These tools are usually effective in fixing corrupted Word documents, spreadsheets, mail items, etc.

Let us understand the File Recovery Vs File Repair with a few examples below:

1.       Suppose there is a file named “xyz.doc” in the Documents folder. While the file is appearing in Windows Explorer, the Word application may display an error message when accessing it. In such a case, you can use a File Repair tool to fix and open it in the Word program. The data recovery tool is not applicable here.

2.       Another example, suppose you deleted the “xyz.com” file and removed it from the Recycle Bin folder as well. Now, the file is no longer visible on your system. Here, you can use File Recovery software to retrieve the deleted file. Unless the recovered file is damaged, you would not have to make use of a File Repairing application.

Conclusion

While both File Recovery and File Repair are somewhat interrelated, their requirement is completely different and their usage depends on the condition of the File in question. And though, these two applications are successful in providing fruitful results in most cases, none of them come with 100 percent assurance of recovering/repairing your important files.
