Advanced Disk Recovery
Description: Advanced Disk Recovery’s patented process helps you back up files through a unique five-step process. First, it welcomes you and provides an overview of its features and capabilities before scanning your computer, providing you with a summary of the scan results, recovering selected files and finishing with a comprehensive report.
Review: This program has the ability to scan more locations and find more files than most other products on the market, and it provides an attractive balance of power, speed and usability. Its major weakness is its inability to scan or recover files from RAID drives, so if you use these drives, you may want to consider a different product.
