Powerful way to search for and find accidentally deleted data

Reviewed by H Gordon on 2/26/2011

ParetoLogic's Data Recovery Pro software tool is a powerful way to search for and find accidentally deleted data. Perhaps your computer was infected by a malicious virus or malware program. Maybe you mistakenly deleted a photo or email. Thankfully, whenver these types of things happen it can most likely be repaired, and the lost data retrieved. ParetoLogic Data Recovery has your back, making the recovery of these files easy and painless.

When data gets deleted, it's generally not permanently gone. It's still on the storage space or disk, but it's simply taken off the list of visible files that the user sees and marked as free space that is available to be written to by various other files. Sometimes the files are broken up and stored on physically separate parts of your hard disk or storage unit.

Data recovery software is able to pick up the tracks and decipher where the data used to be on the hard disk or data storage unit, and then piece it back together.

Let's take a look at what Data Recovery has to offer, and whether or not it might help you out.

Program Basics
ParetoLogic Data Recovery Pro Review
ParetoLogic Data Recovery is an easy to use utility that will scan your computer and external storage media for lost and deleted media and folders. This includes email, office documents, and various multimedia such as videos and music. You are also able to recover compressed, encrypted and files sent to the recycle bin.

ParetoLogic Data Recovery Pro is very easy to install. The download itself is only around 6.7 megabytes, making it fast and easy. Installation is a breeze and follows the typical Windows install wizard.

Interface

The interface is extremely clear and easy to read, with an easy to navigate menu system and colorful buttons. Most people should have no problem operating this program, even if they do not have much computer expertise.

Ease Of Use

This program is very easy to use, and as we said before, you don't need to be a computer expert to use it. The help file does a good job of explaining the intricacies of the program in case you get stuck. There's also an online FAQ over at ParetoLogic's site.

One good thing about this program is that you're not inundated with lots of settings that would only serve to confuse. Everything is farily straightforward.
Scanning And Finding Files

Data Recovery Pro offers different levels of scanning - quick, full, and advanced - to make it easier for you to find your files. One great feature is a guided scan that will be helpful for those who are not sure exactly what to do at first.

The quick scan is a fast look through your computer to find basic files that have been deleted. The full and advanced scans can take a more thorough look and can take a bit longer. The advanced scan lets you narrow down the device or drive that you want to search on, which can be a big time saver.

Features

File Recovery

ParetoLogic Data Recovery Pro offers users the ability to recover files from multiple storage locations. This includes external and multiple hard drives, USB drives, removal storage such as zip drives, flash drives, and other similar devices.

This program is also capable of recovering files from freshly partitioned drives and even from formatted partitions.

When we tested the program we found that it was able to recover deleted files from our hard drive as well as removable USB flash drives easily.

Data Recovery Pro is also able to restore deleted songs from your iPod, iPod Shuffle, and iPod Nano. Unfortunately the iPhone and iPod Touch are not yet supported.

Email Recovery:

Data Recovery Pro offers users the ability to recover emails that have been lost or deleted. Supported email programs and files include:

- PST (.pst) files
- OST (.pst) files
- Outlook Express files (.dbx)
- Microsoft Outlook 2003 and 2007
- Outlook Express 6
- Vista Windows Mail

Conclusions :
Overall this program is a helpful tool to help people recover accidentally deleted files and media from various types of storage spaces. While ParetoLogic does not make any guarantee that you can find your deleted file there's a good chance that you'll have some luck with this program. If for some reason you're unhappy with the software, ParetoLogic stands behind their software with a full 100% money back guarantee. ParetoLogic is also a member of the Better Business Bureau.

Recovery Effectiveness & Ease of Use

Reviewed by Top Ten Reviews on 2/26/2011

Data Recovery Pro from ParetoLogic has several scanning engines to find and recover lost data, but lacks any other discernable features. Luckily, their scanning engines recover enough files to somewhat fill the void the lack of additional features creates. We performed numerous tests on this data recovery software’s recovery capabilities, and each type of scan always passed with flying colors. If you want simple data recovery software that recovers your data without distracting you with additional features, we wholeheartedly recommend this software. However, added features would increase its appeal and overall usefulness.

Feature Set:
The features in Data Recovery Pro consist of the various scans it can perform. With this data recovery software, you can perform quick, full, guided, advanced and email scans. Quick scans look on your computer and the devices that are currently connected to it for files that can be easily recovered. Full scans browse through the same areas, except they’re designed to locate any files that can be recovered. Guided scans let you choose whether you want to recover emails or files from your hard drive or external devices.

Advanced Scans allow you to indicate which areas of certain mounted and unmounted volumes you want to scan. If you know the name of the file you want to recover, or a section of text in it, you can use that information to find and restore the files you need. This scan goes about as deep as the Quick Scan, except it lets you determine where and what you’re going to scan. Email Scans restore emails from your default email application, email profiles and data files. It’s easy to accidentally delete important emails, and with this application, it’s even easier to get them back.

Ease of Use:
Since Data Recovery Pro is a series of scanning engines that could easily stand on their own in separate applications, it’s one of the easiest pieces of data recovery software to use. You don’t have to worry about extraneous features complicating the process, and the interface itself loads very quickly. While we like the ease with which this simple application recovers data, we were left wanting more. The best data recovery software allows you to do additional things with your data like create system restore points and bootable discs rather than just settling for putting the data back on your hard drive.

Recovery Effectiveness:
We deleted five sample images to test how effective Data Recovery Pro is at recovering data. Every sample image appeared in the scan results when we performed a Quick Scan. We were even able to see a preview of each of the sample images. Additional tests on this data recovery software lead us to the conclusion that Data Recovery Pro’s Quick Scan feature can recover several different types of files. We received even more impressive results when we performed Full, Guided, Email and Advanced scans. They performed deeper scans and found files we didn’t even know were missing.

Help/Documentation:
ParetoLogic offers an impressive frequently asked questions section that’s loaded with hundreds of entries regarding this data recovery software. If you can’t find answers to your questions there, you can either call their telephone support line or chat online with a customer service representative. Unfortunately, the live chat support option is only available to users that have a license key handy.

Summary:
Data Recovery Pro is data recovery software that recovers data, but lacks the additional features that keep users coming back for more. We enjoyed using every data recovery scanning engine in this application, especially because they don’t make you wait for your scan results. With this application, your accidentally deleted data is going to be back on your hard drive in minutes.
