Data Recovery Wizard increases the odds of recovering files by not only recovering deleted files but also files from damaged disks, from formatted disks and from memory cards or storage devices. It can help you recover files after a hard disk crash and can recover RAW data. This recovery software supports FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS/NTFS5 file systems.
Despite your best efforts to follow meticulously a data backup plan, we know it does not always happen. Luckily, products like Data Recovery Wizard can help you recover files after a variety of disk disasters. It can even recover files after a reinstallation of Windows. Of course, files can only be retrieved if they have not been written over.
If the files are still intact, this recovery software can recover files from USB drives, memory cards, external disks and camera cards. During our tests, it was able to retrieve our lost files, and it even restored a music album to one folder rather than creating separate folders for the music tracks and album art.
Data Recovery Wizard does not have a deep or quick scan per se, but its scan options include a deleted file scan, a complete recovery scan and a partition recovery scan. The deleted file scan performs the simplest recovery task of discovering deleted files or files emptied from the recycle bin. The complete recovery scan looks for all recoverable files and takes the longest. The partition recovery scan can help you recover data from damaged, reformatted or corrupt partitions. The software has helpful sort tools for finding exactly the files you need, and you can save searches to save time in subsequent scans.
If you should need technical or customer assistance with Data Recovery Wizard, you can contact the manufacturer, EaseUS, by email. We contacted them by email and received a response within two days, which is adequate for a software company. However, they do not provide support via telephone or live chat. They also do not provide professional data recovery services should you need to retrieve data from a severely damaged disk.
We are impressed with the performance of Data Recovery Wizard; in our tests, it was able to retrieve our lost files. However, EaseUS provides little assistance should you need help. If you are comfortable with DIY recovery, Data Recovery Wizard is a solid option.
