Scanning large objects may take a long time. Sometimes, only a smaller area of a disk needs to be scanned or searched for files. Such area is called a region. A region can be created on any object in the R-Linux's Drives panel. Created regions can be scanned, and files on them can be recovered in the same way as from hard drives or partitions. Created regions can be deleted. Note: R-Linux does not create anything real on the disk. Regions are virtual objects that do not affect actual data on the disk. To create a region
