Version 2 sure looked great until I read their "upgrade". Oh my God! They did away with the Universal license for the "Home User", and even worse is that you loose "credit" as you recover files. Hence, if you only buy 100 MB of recovery credit, you can only recover 100 MB with it. At that time if you want to recover more, then you have to pay them more! A TB is $280.00 so if I recover a single drive, it costs me $280.00 and then I've got to spend an additional $280.00 to get a TB's worth of credit back for the next catastrophe!

This seems way too expensive for me, especially since version 1 allowed me to recover unlimited data for one price on 2 different platforms!

Being a Boomerang owner as well as a Data Rescue II customer, my experience has been that each will succeed where the other one fails, and that neither is perfect, nor better than the other. Therefore I used to own both, but with this new pricing scheme (and a scheme it is) I'm simply sticking with Data Rescue II and it only! Prosoft doesn't rob you, nor does it require activation, or any other annoying or limiting factors. It just works, and at $100.00 for unlimited recovery of any amount of data on any drives, you just can't beat it compared to $280.00 per TB of recovered data.

Sorry Boomerang, but you just lost a customer. I'm sticking with Prosoft's Data Rescue II!
