However, although the developers make some bold claims about how much it can recover, you may find it's far from perfect and won't be able to help in all circumstances.ĭata Rescue is definitely worth a try if all else has failed at recovering a hard drive. You can preview files before recovery which is useful since it stops you having to go through the time consuming process of recovery if the files aren't the correct ones you want to recover. It takes you through three steps - drive selection, analysis and recovery. The interface of Data Rescue is very easy to use and well designed. It could be especially useful if you need to recover digital pictures from a camera memory card even after it has been erased or reformatted. Data Rescue can recover any type of file and can even work if a drive only partially operates.
