Need to Rollback the OS? Make Sure Your Data is Protected

In this case, you need a program that can return lost files to a safe place on a PC or other device. Of course, there are many reasons for this to occur - accidental deletion of files by the user or virus attacks, as well as fluctuations in the power supply.
