R-Undelete 3

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This file-recovery utility's unusual design won't appeal to all users, but most will appreciate the speedy performance. R-Undelete appears as a folder in Windows Explorer and uses the OS's interface for navigation and search. We appreciated that this approach lets you locate deleted files with a simple right click, but we always prefer a program to have its own, standalone interface. The application recovers all types of deleted files except those from partitions with broken file systems. In our tests, we found that R-Undelete does its job quickly, and we also appreciated it didn't take much of our PC's resources when running in the background. R-Undelete lets you search deleted files by name, size, and creation date, but since it can't display results as a list, locating a particular document is not as easy as it could be. To speed up searches, you may also filter displayed files by using a mask. This utility provides sufficient power for home users, though we wouldn't recommend it for heavy-duty recovery jobs.

Publisher's description

From R-tools Technology :

R-Undelete is easy-to-use but powerful file undelete solution for FAT and NTFS file systems. R-Undelete can undelete files on any valid logical disks visible by the host OS when files were: removed without Recycle Bin; removed by virus attack or power failure; removed when Recycle Bin has been emptied. R-Undelete supports Dynamic Disks, encrypted files, localized names, compressed files and alternative data streams. It cannot however undelete files on damaged or deleted volumes or in the case of hard drive repartitioning. For user's convenience R-Undelete can be run from disks and folders context menu. Graphic files, video and audio files (all files are supported if a proper codec is installed on the system) can be previewed in Demo mode to estimate recovery chances before purchasing. R-Undelete can be registered on the fly without program exit or reinstallation.

Version 3 has wizard-style interface and additional file recovery algorithm that increases file recovery quality.
