How to repair RAR files with helps of RAR Recovery Toolbox?
RAR Recovery Toolbox (download) recovers data from damaged RAR archives. The program scans the archive and saves the recovered data to the disk. RAR Recovery Toolbox has an intuitive interface that makes your work with it really comfortable and easy. The process of data recovery consists of several steps:
- Selecting a damaged RAR archive
- Scanning the archive for recoverable files
- Specifying data to be recovered
- Selecting the folder where the recovered data will be saved
To recover data with RAR Recovery Toolbox, you should follow the instruction:
Step 1 - Selecting a damaged RAR archive
On this step the user selects a damaged RAR archive containing data to be recovered. There are three ways to do it: selecting a previously recovered file from the list (button  ), typing the file name in the text box or browsing for the file using the standard Open dialog box (to open it, click the icon  with an open folder).

Step 2 - Scanning the file and checking if the data can be recovered
The user doesn't need to perform any actions on this step. The program scans the damaged file looking for files, then it checks its own capability to recover the data it has found. The duration of this process depends on the size of the archive and on the computer performance, so the process can take quite a long time. The process of scanning and checking is displayed in the window.

Step 3 - Selecting data to be recovered
After scanning is complete, you'll see a list of data found in the archive. The left pane contains the folder tree, on the right there is a list of files located in the current folder. The files are marked with exclamation signs (!) of different colors. The blue exclamation mark guarantees that the file can be recovered, the yellow one means that recovery is possible, but not guaranteed; if the exclamation mark is red, recovery is impossible. The user should specify the data to be recovered. You can either select checkboxes of the necessary files and/or folders or use the quick selection buttons:
- Check all - select all data
- Uncheck all - clear all checkboxes
- Check good - select data that can be recovered correctly
After that, click Next.
