Publisher's Description
From TRC Data Recovery:
Chk-Back data recovery software can help restore data corrupted by the Windows CHKDSK process. If data is lost during CHKDSK (check disk), this utility can scan these individual files to determine if the files are useable, if the software is able to recognise files it will then create a copy of each file within a directory where the original CHK files are stored. Most common file types are supported: jpg, bmp, jpg, exe, png, dwg, qbb, mp3, rar, mp4, wma, mpg, pdf, gif, mid, xml, tif, mso, avi, wav. This application allows users to select a specific directory containing CHK files using a user friendly interface, a few clicks later the application will interogate each file and determine if this file contains useable data, if the file type is recognised then a copy of this file is created within a new directory within the original, this application DOES NOT change the original files in any way, the files are tested then a copy is made if the file type is recognised. In some instances the file type can be recognised but corruption can cause the file to be unuseable. It is not recomended that Chk-Back is stopped mid way through a scan.

"Great product! Recovered 95% of my files."
Version: Chk-Back 1.0.1.1
Pros
Chk-Back recovered all of my zip files, my documents, my images and even some of my audio files.
Cons
Not sure why it couldn't recover a few text files. Even though it couldn't recover some php files and css files, opening them in notepad and then saving them accordingly isn't that big of a deal.
Summary
If you have a drive that says it has files on it and they aren't showing up (and they aren't hidden)--don't think your files are gone forever--run scan disk and then use Chk-back to recover them. It works like a charm!

"Worked well, but incompletely."
Version: Chk-Back 1.0.1.1
Pros
Recognized most of the .chk files on my SD Card
Restored them to their correct file types
FreeCons
No support for .cr2, .xmp, .mov - all common files on SD cards.
Summary
Recommended for .chk recovery, but don't be surprised if your .cr2 files show up as .tif. Upside is you can then easily rename the .tif as .cr2 afterward by shift+right-clicking the folder they're in, selecting "Open command window here," then typing "ren *.tif *.cr2" with the spaces included. Make sure you only do that if you don't actually have any "real" .tif files in the same folder (or move them) before you do this or you'll have to fix it later.
