True to its name, Back2Life helps resurrect accidentally deleted or damaged files. The program's interface is straightforward, with an Explorer-like design and large, clearly labeled icons for performing all functions. Back2Life handles both simple recovery tasks such as deleted files and more complex cases such as files located on an improperly formatted or damaged drive. The program offers both quick and deep-scan modes and lets you filter results by filename, extension, approximate size, and last access date. Although the trial version will let you test its powers by showing you all found files, it can't restore documents larger than 100K. Though we doubt this application is powerful enough for IT professionals, home users who occasionally need to recover lost data will find it a handy tool.

Back2Life did absolutely nothing to recover a home video AVI that I accidentally deleted less than 30mins prior. Back2Life might be a wiz at finding old web history and MS word documents, but when it comes to media, like avi's and mpeg's, it's a failure. When I consulted the help section it literally said: "The end... Well, we did everything possible with this drive."<p>Waste of money.

did exactly what I needed

One of best for the restore files
alex-75July 13, 2006
Pros
Thanks for the program. I could restore 500 Mb files with its help. I used different programs, earlier. But only Back2Life 2.4 can to see the files necessary to me.
Cons
No
Summary
Very easy to use and does a wonderful resurrection of my dead disks
larryrJuly 9, 2006
Pros
I have used this software many times (my disks crash often, it seems - maybe because I am a download junkie). I tried this software about two years ago and it has really saved my bacon. So easy to use and so thorough in finding my recoverable files -- all for a very reasonable cost. Try it - you'll like it.
Cons
I could find only one thing that I would change if I knew how - when it stalls (all these programs find situations that are strange to them at times) the program would revert to a standby situation and not go dead and have to start the scan all over again
