Recovered Dad's Army (23 GB) - Version: 6.1.5, 2/9/2009 03:24AM PST

I recently trashed all nine years of Dad's Army, and I emptied the trash, but FileSalvage found all 43 .avi files (overnight) and restored them. Phew!
However, the files were sequentially numbered, without their original titles. So, I now have to get a broadcast index and view the beginning of each film, in order to re-title and re-sequence them correctly.
I followed the instructions for FileSalvage to restore the original file names; however, because there is no window interface with a continuous progress bar during operations like this, I cannot tell whether the process is active or inactive, complete or incomplete, nor how much time is involved.
The lack of informative progress windows is the only major drawback to this utility. It is as if the product were rushed to market before being fully engineered.
Otherwise a great program. It's added nine years to my life!

I was impressed with Norton's Unerase. Despite the widespread panning of Norton Utilities for OS X, Unerase always did what I needed.
Now, having finally outgrown Nortons with an upgrade to OS X 10.4, I'm even more impressed with FileSalvage.
It found stuff that Data Rescue II never could. And it displayed results that made sense.
The ability (in Expert Mode) to specify the file type you're looking for -- be it audio, image or whatever -- means it's quicker. It doesn't spend time looking for deleted files you don't want to undelete anyway. It doesn't give you a huge list of randomly named files to wade through. And it allows you to preview many files, to check they're the right ones, before recovering them.
So cool!

It is also not correctly detecting that the version of the installed version - it thinks that 6.1 (6.1.0.0) is installed .
