Help MacUpdate by , and win an iPod!

DESCRIPTION
Data Rescue is one of the highest-rated products on MacUpdate and for good reason. It works when nothing else does. This is a great price on the product that should be part of everyone's software library... Have this on hand if/when you have a major hard drive crash-- If your hard drive crashes at 9pm on Sunday, and your precious sales report or dissertation is due at 8:00am on Monday, this is the product you want on hand to rescue you! If you (or someone else) deletes something, this is the product you want to try to recover with. Data Rescue is used by the FBI, CIA, DoD, as well as the big data recovery service shops that will quote you thousands of dollars, when in many cases they're just running Data Rescue- Even Apple has a worldwide site license which covers every one of their employees!

Data Rescue even works on digital camera media cards.. Want to check out which pics were just deleted (or even reformatted)? Data Rescue has great power to get those back too..

Why do I need Data Rescue II?

  • If your hard drive won't mount.
  • If your hard drive is corrupt and you can't access files from it.
  • If you have deleted files that you need to recover.

DDCULLEN  Data Rescue II for MAC has proven to be a life saver! Not only did the application recover deleted files that I sorely needed, they were also recovered completely and with out corruption. The staff at Data Rescue were very helpful when I needed some extra assistance and their patience and professionalism has proven invaluable. Thanks again John! Cheers!

DION HAWLEY  I had a WD External Hard Drive that had an Invalid Journal Content, whatever that means. I tried the disk utility on my Mac Book Pro to no luck. So I googled my problem and found this software popped up repeatedly. Reluctant from being burned by other companies, I gave it a try. Holy Smokes. It worked, on the first try, while I slept. Easy to use, The support was unbelievable, answered all my emails within minutes, (during business hours), and most of it all it allowed me to transfer my files from a corrupt hard drive to a fresh one, with the file names and folders still in tact. It also organized my files and media in a separate file that I could choose to transfer if I like. So in a sense, it not only repaired my drive, but organized it as well. I wasn't even expecting that. I was able to reconnect my media to my timeline and go on like nothing happened. Price this against a data recovery shop. There is no comparison, and you will be up in a lot less time! To the staff a huge thanks, from myself and my client, that didn't even noticed we skipped a beat.

Sincerely,

Dion Hawley

ANDYHIGGINS  A catastrophic backup failure deleted three years worth of photographs from my external Lacie hard-drives so I urgently went in search of data recovery software. An initial Google search brought up Data Rescue II which was further validated by my local Apple store when I asked their advice. After an online purchase I installed and followed the step-by-step guide. The scan of deleted space of a 500GB drive took about 8 hours and categorised all the file types for recovery. All seemed to be perfect until....

Adobe DNG files (industry standard RAW digital negatives) were incorrectly identified as TIFFs of only around 200KB instead of their true size of 10MB+ This was a little alarming! I raised a support ticket via Prosoft's website who responded immediately with a fix - a file module designed for these types of files. Unfortunately it was only partially successful so I contacted Technical Support for advice. They requested 10 sample .DNG files to allow them to custom build, at no cost, a file module which arrived within a few hours. This was 100% SUCCESSFUL.

I couldn't ask for better service or a better product.

UNCAPHER  My drive containing my entire iTunes media library (2 terabytes of music, movies, and TV shows) crashed. I thought I lost it all but after running DataRescue II, I was able to recover every file and reconstruct my iTunes library. This is an absolutely amazing product!

YMUGMIKE  Despair over 'Raid' Remedy Dilemma

After totally misunderstanding how to create a Raid backup system, I managed to trash one of my existing external LaCie Firewire drives.

Thanks to Data Rescue II and the help of their staff, I have now recovered all 300 GB of information and can breath normally once more.

Great product. Great company. Great service.

WALKI-TALKI.COM  I obtained this software initially to recover data from a failed hard drive. It recovered EVERYTHING perfectly.

Now, I am using it to recover a files that I accidentally deleted 8 months ago. It recovered so many other files!! This program is so good, in fact, that I am positively zeroing out my hard drives before ever giving them away. Data Rescue will recover ANY data hiding on your hard drive. This program is truly fantastic, and well worth the price.

GORDON BELL  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!

Cheers,

Gordon from Prosoft

CRAIGINBMINOR  A week ago, my entire G-Tech hard drive (20,000+ iTunes songs) stopped mounting. The entire thing was finished. DiskWarrior couldn't even find it!

Then I found Data Rescue, which picked up the device, scanned my files, located them ALL (WITH ORIGINAL NAMES!) and recovered them. This company is absolutely fantastic; their customer service is A+ as well -- almost instant responses.

If ANYTHING happens to your HD, go with Data Rescue II.

DEREK SEAGRIM  Love it, as I said on Version Tracker comments. It does what it says it does on the box and that it is salvage deleted files on a lost HD.

My Mac ibook had a new HD installed but still didnt work because the logic board connector was broken. Too expensive to repair.

Bought a new Mac and a £12 Lindy caddy and installed the old HD in the caddy. The old HD had been seriously abused trying to get my picture images off it. Data Rescue was so easy to use. It found all my old files and very expensive, once in a life time holiday snaps. All saved. They deserve several medals.
