Rescue Deleted or Lost RAR Files on Mac OS X

RAR is one of the compressed file format created by WinRAR application, which provides safest way to reduce the file size. Therefore, you can store large sized files within less memory space on hard drive and also you can easily transfer them over network. Apart from this facility, RAR files also own some unique features, such as:

• File spanning: File spanning means dividing large RAR archive files in to smaller files. This is very helpful while preserving large files on small storage space
• Error recovery: To extract archived files from RAR file that shows errors due to transmission over unsecure network

People often provide security to their confidential RAR files by keeping password. However, some human mistakes and software conflicts may result in loss or deletion of RAR files. Let us discuss some of them here:

• Formatting Issues: Unintentionally formatting the Macintosh volumes/drives, while formatting virus infected external storage device tends to huge amount of data loss along with RAR archive files stored on that Mac volume
• Unintended Deletion: If you erase RAR files from terminals or deleting them from removable storage devices then it causes permanent removal of RAR file on Mac system
• File System Corruption: File system stores details about all files and folders on the drive. If it gets damaged due to OS malfunction or other reasons, then file allocation data will go into ether by vanishing all your files along with RAR files
• HDD Corruption: If your hard disk drive get crashed due to unusual system shutdown, virus/malware attack or any other logical errors, then it results in loss of RAR files
