Data Recovery Tool

Looking for data recovery tools and downloads? Welcome to Data Recovery Essentials, an independent site containing unbiased data recovery information for both corporates and home users.

We've prepared this checklist to help you evaluate data recovery tools and software packages.

a) First, try to establish the cause of the data loss:

  • File deletion
  • Computer virus
  • Damage caused by power failure or power spike
  • Software failure
  • Corrupt or missing file system structures
  • Partitioning problems
  • Drives that have been fdisked or formatted
  • Application crash
  • System shutdown
  • Hard disk or media failure
  • Boot problems

Don't know? Some applications can actually help you diagnose the cause. Look for software that does this if you're unsure.

b) Don't buy more heavily featured software than you need. Some software will restore files only, while other data recovery software can repair, restore and diagnose problems. If you can establish the cause of the problem, then you are more likely to choose data recovery software that fits your needs.

c) Licensing - Do you have multiple hard drives that you need to work with? Check to see that the data recovery tool covers all applicable uses.

There are numerous data recovery tools available for download. Check out these hand selected resources at dmoz, goguides and yahoo:
