Product Description:
The best data recovery software for the Mac platform now has the ability to recover deleted files in the new and improved Data Rescue II.
Do you have a corrupt hard drive or one that no longer mounts? Are other tools failing to even recognize your bad drive? Data Rescue II is the best data recovery utility on the market for recovering files from a problem hard drive. Other utilities can cause more damage to your hard drive and files by trying to 'fix' the problem, instead of focusing on recovering your files. Do not use a repair utility until you've safely recovered your important files over to a safe location. Data Rescue II should be your first option to recover your important data, before you try any risky "repair" utility.
An optional emergency bootable CD is also available.*

What's new in this version:
- Now ships on Bootable Leopard DVD
- A bug was fixed which prevented several file modules which were based on binary property lists from being disabled.
- A built-in file module was added for recovering gzip files.
- Two bugs were fixed which could rarely cause crashes during scanning.

Vastly Capable but Needle-in-the-Haystack Savvy As Well - Version: 1.2.1, 6/17/2008 01:50PM PST

This software is great and continues to perform since I picked up my first version a few years ago.
Added performance and feature set(s) keep up with constant device and OS changes seemingly without so much as a hint of a hiccup. That alone is worth the price of admission compared to many software publishers out there these days. Data Rescue has NEVER failed to produce a good result unless the hardware you're trying to recover from is just plain stone-dead. I'd also argue that if this didn't recover your data, there was no hope for it anyway. That being said, new flexible features like adding specific search functions for specialized file types (.fff in my most recent quest) are pretty straight forward and all you have to do to get quick and precise info from the company is ASK! Searching for JUST the files you want is a boon in this era of ultra massive storage capacity. This is why being a registered owner pays dividends, not only that but great results as I once again retrieved the .fff files back from the drive they were OS X-erased from. Fantastic job guys and keep up the great work... I know of no other product in MANY long years as handy as the one you've created and continue to support.

What DiskWizard does for making un-bootable Mac drives bootable again, Data Rescue does for recovering lost files.
I really screwed up. I didn't just delete my files, I re-partitioned the drive and, as if that wasn't enough, I copied a bunch of new files to the volume. Only then, did I realize that I had just nuked my only copies of many, many irreplaceable files.
Fortunately, Data Rescue was able to bring a surprising number of he files back from the grave. And best of all, it let me guide the process. I picked the files to recover and it handled all the tricky, icky bits.
From here on out, I'm always going to have an up-to-date copy of Data Rescue on hand.

Found photo and music files from an external hard drive that had been reformatted twice!
Highly recommend!
