The Scan Options screen, which is now integrated into the Detection Results screen in DVR Examiner 3, offers the first opportunity for data recovery customization. The video below demonstrates the difference in scan time for a scan of the same image file in 2.9.4 and 3.0.2. Users can also recover data from a single source more quickly, however, with scans consistently showing that DVR Examiner 3 is faster in both time to detect a filesystem and time to complete a scan. Let’s take a look at the major feature improvements that contribute to improved workflows in DVR Examiner:Īs mentioned, in DVR Examiner 3 users can scan multiple data recovery sources in a single case, ultimately decreasing time to evidence. This workflow worked well enough for single source cases, however in instances where a user might be working with a DVR that contains multiple hard drives, or a case where multiple DVRs are in play, a new case would have to be created for each source, with the same workflow being followed each time a new source was scanned. In this blog, we’ll be highlighting the major changes made between DVR Examiner 2.X and DVR Examiner 3 which ultimately provide our users with a greater degree of customization and workflow control.īefore the release of DVR Examiner 3, the software essential offered a single workflow from detection to export, as you can see in Figure 1 below. An efficient workflow, and the ability for users to customize the workflow they follow based on their particular case needs, ensures rapid time to evidence, and is a major focus as we release new versions of DVR Examiner. Data recovery is a key function of DVR Examiner for all our users, despite varying case load and case nature.
