Feature Set:  

Offering one of the largest feature sets around, Recover My Files allows you to recover encrypted and compressed files, videos, photos and deleted emails. It can also recover data from camera cards, USB drives, zip drives, floppy discs, iPods and more. This software also attempts to recover files that have been deleted from the recycle bin, from a formatted hard drive and even files that have been lost due to power failures and virus attacks.

We were, however, disappointed that this software doesn't support RAID drives and can't recover files over a network.

Ease of Use:  

Recover My Files was extremely easy to learn and use. The program's opening screen offers four options: Fast File Search, Complete File Search, Fast Format Recover and Complete Format Recover. Once an option is selected, you simply choose the types of files to look for or recover, select the drive that you want the software to scan and then press go-the program does the rest.

We encountered no errors or problems during the installation of Recover My Files. The program is Vista ready and compatible with Windows XP and works with FAT 12, FAT 16, FAT 32, NTFS and NTFS5 file–systems.

Recovery Effectiveness:  

Recover My Files found and recovered all of the files we tested it against. We found this product not only easy to use, but very effective at what it does.

Search Capabilities:  

With Recover My Files you can search by filename, date, size and keyword. We feel great software should offer both types of searches.

Help/Documentation:  

GetData Software provides embedded help, an online FAQs page and email support. As we used this product, all of our questions were answered and we were able to figure out everything we needed to successfully recover our deleted files. They also provide telephone support in Australia and sales support by phone in the U.S.

With Recover My Files you can stop panicking and start recovering your files immediately. It can rescue over 300 file extension types, is easy to use and Data Recovery even offers a free file detection download – so you really have nothing to lose, get your files back today.
