5 Useful Data Recovery Tools That Could Recover Your Corrupt Files

December 18, 2013

In a world where our daily dependence on technology is only ever increasing, it is important to be aware of the risks that are involved – primarily, the fact that even the most minor of malfunctions can rob you of hours, days, maybe even months of your hard work. As such, then, it is important to be aware of the options that are available to you in terms of work backup and file recovery. Here are some useful data recovery tools that could help you recover your corrupt files.

Data Recovery Tools to  Recover Your Corrupt Files

1. Skydrives

skydrives - Data Recovery Tools

Perhaps the simplest option available, though this does not mean it is any less valid than the other entries on this list. There are a number of viable free skydrive options available to you, and really there is little variation – they all function in pretty much the same fashion. Probably the most well-known is Dropbox, a program that, once downloaded and installed, allows you to save documents which are in turn uploaded to a cloud server and can be accessed via the web and on any device with Dropbox functionality via the internet, meaning even if your computer does crash, you can look forward to an exceptionally Easy Recovery. See also: Google Drive.

2. Undela

Another effective piece of free software is Undela, a program focused specifically on recovering lost documents – largely in the event of accidental deletion but also in cases of severe hardware failure. This program allows you to safely recover not just lost or deleted documents, but also things such as e-mails and MP3 music files, adding a great level of versatility. It can also be used to extract lost data from other devices such as mobile phones or portable music players. At no charge at all, you can’t really argue with that.

3. CD Recovery Toolbox

Data Recovery Tools

Undela may be a very useful program to have installed with regards to hardware failure, but what happens if you’ve been particularly forward-thinking and backed all of your data up onto a disk? Fear not, CD Recovery Toolbox, another free-to-use piece of software, has you covered. Simply put the damaged media (a scratched CD, for example) into your drive and the program will take care of the rest, digging through the cracks to extract the precious data within. This is an ideal partner program to Undela, as both are free to use and, when combined, ensure that you’re able to allow for both hardware failure and damage to external media.

4. DivFix++

This is a piece of software that is a little more unique in its execution – have you ever downloaded a video file only to find it incomplete, rendering proper playback impossible? Of course you have. Fortunately, thanks to DivFix++, this won’t be an issue for much longer. The program builds on existing index data in the file to build up the missing information, ideal for corrupted files or cancelled downloads.

5. Mail PassView

So you have Undela to recover deleted e-mails, but what about protecting the account itself from suspicious activity in the first place? Mail PassView is a safe, secure way to back up all of your important e-mail credentials into one convenient, secure text file. The program works across a number of e-mail clients (Hotmail, Google Mail, etc.) and provides you with a safe location for your important information, meaning you can set up increasingly complex passwords and not have to worry about losing them and locking yourself out of the account.

It’s important to not that whilst these data recovery tools are very handy they can only help you recover accidentally deleted files. If your data loss was caused by a hardware fault such as hard drive failure, then contact a specialist data recovery company. Specialists like Easy Recovery may be able to recovery your data even from a broken hard drive.

    Deleting or emptying your recycle bin does not mean those files are gone forever. But if you want any hope of getting them back, the sooner you act the better. What you need to do is get a data recovery software. With data recovery software you can scan the lower levels of your hard drive where in many cases the memory remains.
