Restore My Files Review

Software Description: Restore My Files is the only computer data recovery software you will ever need to recover deleted files and lost files emptied from the windows recycle Bin, or recover deleted or lost files due to the format of a hard drive, virus infection, unexpected system shutdown or software failure.

The Good: Restore My Files is created to restore deleted or list files, Graphic files, Music &Video files and Zip files. It does a good job in getting a very large amount of the files. The software is simple to use, and you do not have to be a computer expert to figure it out and run it effectively. This is another one of the programs with the live updates and online help abilities, which can make it very easy for users once users install it on system.

It supports standard hard drives like IDE/ATA/CSCI as well as any hard drive larger than 8 GB; besides, it also supports hard drives formatted with Windows FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS files systems. The definition recovery database is very large, too, so it offers data recovery from files lost by Recycle Bin to files lost by formatted hard drives.

The Bad: While Restore My Files offers recovery from a large amount of different types of data, it still does not offer as much as some of the recovery, including its inability to recover the deleted or lost E-mail, data over internet or even data that located on removable media and RAID disks.

The Bottom Line: Overall, Restore My Files will get the job done. It may not do it as great as our No.1 products, although it is close. The program looks good at interface, and seems to do a really good job in recovering the data it tests. The scans find out a great deal of what were lost on the system, even the files lost years ago can be detected as well. But it misses some things that were picked up by other programs.

Our Top Brand Review’s No.4 winner is Restore My Files. This is a safe and easy-to-use data recovery solution that is designed to recover deleted or lost files from hard drives, recycle bin, smart media, memory stick, and so on. This is totally an affordable do-it-yourself data recovery operation for both novice and veteran.
Although Restore My Files is good at what it recovers, the combination of a lack of capability to recover data via network is the reason why it is less powerful than our No.1 product.

Feature Set

This program allows you to recover important documents and files, which has been deleted or lost by accidental deletion or software failure. What’ more, Restore My Files provides data recovery from formatted hard drive or district formatted drives without changing any data after finishing the whole process while other products might have error data after recovering. However, Restore My Files is missing a few features that we feel should have built in high-quality data recovery products. For example, the ability to recover E-mail data can not found in Restore My Files.

Ease of Use

We consider that this application has a well-designed interface and is as easy as the N0.1 and No.2 products on our Top Brand Reviews. Simple select the drive that you are trying to extract the data from and then click on the start button, Restore My Files will begin scanning as required. You can also go to advanced scan to speed up your recovery.

Recovery Effectiveness

Restore My Files found and recovered most files we tested. When the process came to any error files, Restore My Files would pop up a wizard asking to continue or not, and you may choose yes to continue. But we feel disappointed that when this application came to an error application, it would stop scanning and close all its procedure. We considered Restore My Files should have skipped it and go on anyway.

Search Capabilities

Restore My Files search engine is good. It allows you to search file both by extension and name. There are three file names contained, including JPG, DOC, and ZIP

Help/Documentation

Restore My Files supports help/documentation in several ways, including a built-in help segment within its interface, FAQ pages and E-mail supports.

Summary

Restore My Files is a good data recover application that can restore deleted files, lost Zip files, lost Music and Video files deleted from an application, command line, Hard Drive and the Recycle Bin, with its outstanding tool . Although lacking a few features, it still performs well at those data it covers.
