GetDataBack Reviewer's Comments

Our #5 pick is GetDataBack from Runtime Software. GetDataBack is good data recovery software that scans your hard drive and then allows you to browse through options to find and view files before you actually recover them.

Feature Set:  

GetDataBack is loaded with good features to help you find deleted files. Through this program you can create images of your hard disk, recover data over a network or recover it from almost any removable media available today.

One feature that this program lacks is the ability to recover deleted emails.

Ease of Use:  

The screens in GetDataBack are fairly easy to navigate through and offer step-by-step instructions to assist you as you go.

We had no problems during the installation and setup of this product.

Recovery Effectivness:  

GetDataBack recovered all the files we attempted to recover and did so without any problems.

Search Capabilities:  

GetDataBack allows you to search for your files by extension, date, size and type, but unfortunately, it doesn't allow you to search by title. We feel adding this feature would make searching for files with this program a great deal more effective.

Help/Documentation:  

Runtime Software provides excellent help documentation for GetDataBack. Its built-in help section shows you exactly how to perform each function of the program. There's also help available in the form of FAQ and phone and email support.

Summary:  

Overall, GetDataBack is a good data recovery program that can retrieve and restore all the data that you want. With just a few more features, this product could be a contender for one of our top spots.
