    "Sucks Bigtime"

    July 13, 2011  |   By dekiscool

    Version: Data Recovery 2.3.1

    Pros

    It sort of found stuff

    Cons

    It would show a list, and show that it scanned half way and then it would just close. No warning, no error message...nothing. So while it was scanning, I would try to recover a file and I would get this message: "The access code is invalid."

    Summary

    Worthless to me!

    "THANK YOU! Deleted images recovered from SD Card!"

    July 7, 2011  |   By globetrotter1028

    Version: Data Recovery 2.3.1

    Pros

    Easy to install and use. Worked brilliantly -- better than Pandora Recovery and File Recovery Programs, both of which did not see my memory card. A charm!!

    Cons

    None as far as I am concerned.

    Summary

    Last year, I celebrated my 50th birthday on an African safari. In January, my hard drive crashed and I lost all of the photos and videos from the safari. Yes, I had backed up my drive -- to Mozy -- but as I discovered with Mozy, it does not function as an archiving service, so each time it backs-up your files, that back-up replaces your previous back-up. I had deselected many of my photos because I thought that they were already backed up. Big surprise when my hard drive crashed and I discovered that I didn't have the back-ups. And I had already deleted the photos and videos from the SD card on my digital camera -- or so I thought until I discovered this absolutely superb program. ALL of my deleted photos AND videos from the safari were recovered. That was a very special trip for me, so losing these images left a hole. But now everything is all restored. Whew!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

    "Saved My Bacon!"

    November 27, 2010  |   By kcbill3

    Version: Data Recovery 2.3.1

    Pros

    Can help you find the files you've accidentally deleted

    Cons

    Not a very intuitive interface.

    Summary

    I took me a day and a half to figure out how to use the program. By then, I had restored stuff several times. Once I figured out the restoring of the entire folders, it went quickly. Great program. You might keep this installed and play with it BEFORE you need it.
