Hi folks, as topic title says: is Recuva "read-only" software? In that it will not overwrite anything on the disk/card that you are trying to recover from?
I had a look through the documentation for this and could not find it, maybe this could be included for reference in an update to those documents?
Thanks in advance,

During installation it will overwrite data, unless you install it on a drive you are not trying to recover from. When recovering you should also recover to a separate drive to avoid overwriting data. Apart from that I think Recuva is pretty harmless.

That's fine, I just needed to be sure.
The data is on an external HD, so the installation [well, it's already installed] will not harm the data I am trying to recover.
