Free data recovery software - effectiveness

Most of the people have been writing about freeware “data recovery software” on their blogs and forums. By reading those articles and posts, it is imperative to know what exactly this hullabaloo about free data recovery software is.

Well, the most popular data recovery software have made life difficult for individuals who either are great believers of open source and have a concept that “software development is charity”, also people who are looking for cracked or free recovery software.

People have very different opinions about a data recovery software, they feel free tool even if is mere undelete is the best resource when we have a data loss. When they face complex data loss situation as compared to minor loss of data that includes deleted file recovery or recovering lost partitions from Windows, they turn back to those effective recovery software, which works only when it is purchased.

We at “bestrecoverysoftware” have already reviewed PC Inspector a free tool to recover files from Windows, like PC inspector there are some more free tools, that might help in recovering data and there is no denying in this.

Some of the free recovery tools might or might not be effective in recovering.

• Panda Recovery
• Undelete Plus
• ADRC data recovery software
• Avira Unerase Personal

Even though I am not a great believer of free recovery tools as they have always failed to recover when it is mostly required. But it does not means they would not work for anyone else, what I am trying to convey is that they are the entry level tools in terms of data recovery and should be considered only when your recovery requirements are related to recovering files after emptying your recycle bin, accidental deletion or simple partition recovery.

What should we do, we cannot afford recovery software?

The answer is simple, if the cost of the lost data is less then 4 times the cost of the software, never consider seriously about purchasing paid recovery software.
