    Even better than getting this program: make backups. You can't count on data recovery software to work. If you test your backups and make multiple copies, you can count on them.

    Wow! Really??? ;)

    I wanted it in my arsenal of tricks when I go to a client's office. Never hurts to have another tool in the bag.

    Definitely. It's just that a lot of people don't do backups until they need a program like this, and by then it's too late to save things a lot of times. May as well keep the post at the top of the page and remind people to do backups at the same time.

    Or they need to hire a consultant with a bag of tricks. I like those folks, they pay my bills. :D

    Great responses :D

    Anyway, coming to the point: I agree, with having a 'backup' tool to fall back on in case the 'making backup' schedule is forgotten or just simply doesn't work in recovering files...

    I haven't tried this yet though, but coming from CNET, I'd take their word on it.

    Cheers.
