Data Rescue	Jan 28 2009	DJFK2000 Data Rescue is the best program you can get for file recovery on a corrupted drive. Much better than DiskWarrior 4 or FileSalvage, the program's Thorough Scan feature not only found all my files but it recovered all their metadata, such as names, creation and modification dates, folder structure, permissions, etc. Most helpfully, the company offers a demo so you can see exactly what you're getting before spending your money. Truly excellent product, highly recommended. (Version 1.2.1)		+2

STAR-AFFINITY I agree that Data Rescue II is a good program, but comparing it directly to DiskWarrior is a bit unfair. They do different things and there are things that DiskWarrior can do that Data Rescue II can't.

DiskWarrior = rebuilding (fixing) the file system/directoy.

Data Rescue II = restoring data from drives with broken and/or irreparable file system/directory due to hardware or software problems.

...just to add two cents. When Data Rescue II restores data, often times you lose your resource forks, metadata, extended attributes, etc. Disk Warrior's approach is different, as others have pointed out.

Apples and oranges. They're both good tools (I own them both - I only use Data Rescue II as a last resort), but it's a mistake to try to compare the feature sets.
