I've used Data Rescue since 2005, but actually used it only 3 times, once to recover a couple of hundred gig from a non-mounting hard drive, then more importantly, to recover some photos of birthday cakes my wife took with my camera and didn't tell me, of course I'd re-formatted the SD card since.... Propriety software from the SD card maker failed, Data Rescue found the RAW files.... saved me from sleeping on the couch! ;)
Not having this is like driving your car without a jack! Just get it..... and hope you never use it.....
You may reap the rewards of saving a damsels deleted photos one day too... :)
There are no guarantees in data recovery efforts and in many cases its very situational.
For instance, if a user continues to use a drive after deleting files which can cause overwriting or not using the proper scan and, not utilizing the ABL settings or our support team. Im not sure what your scenario was , but I am willing to listen and assist if I can.
If you follow Prosoft Engineering products on Mac Update, you will find that we are very open , honest and ready and willing to help 5 days a week 7:00am -5:00pm PST.
As I always do, I am offering our customers support personally @ 925-426-6306 and ask for Mike or email support@prosofteng.com

I can create a support ticket and look into your data loss sceanrio and why you are only recovering corrupted files.
I purchased this fine piece of software via the MuPromo-Pack.
I was never in need of Data Recovery Software until today because of regular backups.
But because i have not been to my place since a month and i don't carry my backup device with me right now i came in trouble today by accidently deleting a directory with about 30 GB of contant today.
Data-Rescue restored them completely without any trouble.
I was a fool today. I deleted a 150MB file and it's backup zip archives that took me 2 years to create! Oh I had sync software running and guess what it did cascade delated my bl**dy files from the backup drives and I have four of them including off site. So BIG WOOPS! All was gone I had my head in my hands and cold sweats began.
I started googling for software got a couple apps total failures. Thought all was lost then came here and found Data Rescue 3. I thought why not try it I am screwed anyway so no loss.
I was sceptical as all the others has bombed.
I ran it on a SSD drive first. As it was my fastest drive.
It moved FAST! But no luck nada nothing. Just fragments I was gutted.
So I looked in the engine settings and started to tweak them and thought to go after the most recent backup archive. I thought it must be there. So I upped the default file size and tweaked about in the archive file settings.
Another Scan...why not...I saw larger archives turn up. I knew the exact file size of the archive that was most recent. I saw one with that size but it's name was gone. It had some generic recovery name.
I recovered it and opened it up and guess what? All my files 100% there and in order as they were the day before. Only needing minor alterations.
You know that feeling like you just missed out on a massive car crash as you were doing a stupid overtaking manoeuvre - yeah i feel like that today.
THANK F*** FOR DATA RESCUE 3 WORTH EVERY LAST CENT EVEN FOR A ONE OFF!
I have lots of large tif pics in 16 bits depth mode on a disk that was initialized by mistake and not modified further. These were analogic dias scanned with Nikon coolscan SF-200.
Although Data Rescue recovered 99% ot the other 8 bit files, it was not able to recover any file with a 16 bit depth.
I started running the deep scan 40 minutes ago and it still says "scanned block 0 of [3.9+ BILLION] (phase 1 of 3)." Assuming it finished scanning the first block after 1 hour, at that rate it would take about half a million years to finish. If I were only willing to wait one month for it to finish, it would have to speed up to 6 million times that rate, after the first block. So, I'm wondering if I should likely give up (at least if it still says 'scanned block 0' after leaving it overnight), or if cloning would work better.
When I did quick scan, it said it didn't find any files.
i must say that Data Recovery sounds and looks great, however, I am not having as much luck as i would like to be having recovering data from my LaCie d2 500 GB, so far it has taken 13:32 hours to scan one block in deep scan mode. i guess what i am looking for is someone to tell me that is fine it is just taking a while and will all be Ok, unfortunately i am beginning to believe that my disc may be beyond data recoveries reach. Typically the only info i need from the drive is my current video project, oh how i will be backing things up in the future.
It sounds like you have a severely messed up block... you might want to contact Prosoft Support for guidance.
Having said that, I've had drives with very messed up blocks take over 24 hours to scan. It eventually makes it through them, in my experience (and each block won't take that long, just the really damaged ones).
Definitely if the drive has any bad blocks on it, this can increase the length of time that the scan will take to complete. Please contact our Support department if you have any questions and we'll be more than happy to assist you. We can be reached at 925-426-6306 between the hours of 7AM and 5PM Monday to Friday PST.
If you deleted the files, then yes, OS X will delete the naming structure that goes along with those files, at the time of the deletion (it's just how OS X works..)
If the drive had become corrupted, then the files and their names are still intact and we can get names back, folder hierarchy back, etc...
I'm not sure what you mean by Mbox are unusable.. Please contact our support team to see if we can help out!
