Do-It-Yourself Version of Data-Recovery Service Saves Lost Files EasyRecovery Lite Rescues Up To 25 Documents Per Disaster Eric Grevstad
Mon 3/3/03 -- When a hard disk failure, virus attack, power outage, or other catastrophic data loss occurs, companies call on Kroll Inc.'s Ontrack Data Recovery for sophisticated emergency services. Now you can call on an advanced version of the company's EasyRecovery do-it-yourself software -- EasyRecovery Lite 6.0, which can recover up to 25 otherwise inaccessible files per recovery session for $89.
Operating either from Windows or from an emergency boot floppy, EasyRecovery Lite does not need to be preinstalled prior to data loss. The step-by-step utility -- a subset of the company's $199 EasyRecovery DataRecovery -- shows which files are recoverable, lets you pick which files to rescue, and copies them to a safe location.
EasyRecovery Lite supports Windows 95, 98, Me, XP, 2000, and NT and media ranging from IDE and SCSI hard disks to Zip and Jaz drives and flash-memory modules; it can quickly and easily recover data that's lost due to human error, corrupt file structures, or inaccessible or unbootable disk partitions. The software is available in English, Italian, Spanish, French, and German.
