Hello everybody! In today’s video, I’ll show you how to recover lost data from a remote computer,
using your Internet connection. These days, such service as online
data recovery is becoming more and more popular and relevant. Talking of remote work,
the latest Windows operating system contains a few built-in features to assist you in setting
up remote control for another user’s PC. This way, you can help your friends or relatives
solve various problems they may have with their computers, including those that involve data
recovery. However, establishing remote access to somebody else’s computer is not enough:
you also need a specialized tool to actually bring the lost data back.
How to set up remote access The first step you take is to
access the remote computer. For this purpose, you need to make some changes to its system settings.
Open the Start menu - Windows System - Control Panel. Otherwise,
just type “Control Panel” in the search field. Now, look for “System” - “Advanced system
settings” - and switch to the tab “Remote.” Check the boxes for “Allow Remote Assistance connections
to this computer” and “Allow remote connections to this computer,” then click “Apply” and OK.
You can watch one of our videos for a more detailed description of how
to set up a remote desktop connection. Find the link in the description below.
On the computer, from which you are going to access the remote PC,
click the Start menu button - choose “Windows Accessories” and then “Remote Desktop Connection.”
Enter the IP address of the remote PC,
give the user name, password, and click here to get connected.
Now the remote connection is ready to work. It’s time to download a
data recovery tool and start recovering the lost information.
Remote connection with Microsoft Quick Assist
One more method to set up a remote connection is by using a special utility, Microsoft Quick
Assist. This is one of the easiest ways to establish remote access over the Internet,
And it involves a built-in application that can be found in any version of Windows 10.
To start working, you need to run this app on both computers.
Here is how you do it: click on the Start button – Windows Accessories – Quick Assist,
or just type “Quick Assist” in the search field.
On your computer, click “Give assistance / Assist another person” and sign in to your
Microsoft account. This last step (sign-in) is not required for the person operating the remote PC.
After that, you will receive a security code which should be entered from the remote PC.
The code is only valid for 10 minutes.
The person operating the remote PC should click on “Get assistance” and enter the code.
Remember to do it right after the code was received, because it expires in 10 minutes.
After the code is entered, confirm the request for assistance by clicking “Allow.”
Now the remote connection is ready to work. It’s time to download a
data recovery tool and start recovering the lost information.
Remote access with TeamViewer
Also, there are third-party tools over there to help you
establish a remote connection between computers. One of the most popular utilities is TeamViewer.
To start working, download the installation file from the official website.
You don’t need to install the program. For one-time use,
it’s more convenient to choose the option “Run only.”
However, it’s better to install the program if you are planning to use it regularly.
When the program starts, here’s the window you will see.
To get connected, enter ID on your computer, and on the remote PC -
the password from the window that opens.
If your Internet is all right, the connection will be established within 10 to 30 seconds, and you’ll
be able to start recovering the lost data. Recovering deleted data
For recovering lost information, we recommend our product, Hetman Partition Recovery.
It will scan the hard disk or external storage device,
find the lost data and help you recover it in a simple and efficient way.
Download, install and run the program. Open the disk where the lost information was stored.
Remember to immediately stop using the hard disk where the important information used to be stored;
do not install any programs or write anything there. Also, we don’t recommend reinstalling
the operating system, because it can overwrite the data and it will be lost beyond recovery.
In the Drive Manager, select the disk, right-click on it and choose “Open.” Run a
fast scan first - it will take less time. If the fast scan doesn’t help to find the deleted data,
then go for Full analysis. The file recovery wizard will scan the
selected volume immediately and display the scan results in the right side of the program’s window.
When the scan is over, all you need to do is to select the deleted files
you want to restore and then click the “Recovery” button.
Specify where to save the data and click “Recovery” again.
Also, this program can create a disk image and the conduct all recovery operations with this image
which increases your chances to restore the deleted information successfully,
because multiple rounds of scanning may result in data overwriting.
Summing up, here is how you can connect to a remote computer over the Internet
and help your friends or relatives recover data in a few easy steps.
Hetman Partition Recovery can be used in the following cases:
To recover files lost after removing or formatting partitions, after disk repartitioning,
system errors, virus attacks and other scenarios that involve loss of data.
To recover data from internal and external hard disks,
USB storage devices, SD memory cards, cameras and other devices used to store information.
To recover lost photos, videos, music, documents and other file types.
