I have try all the free data recovery software and it does not do a through job like ZAR. I've wasted alot of time and frustration to no avail, the 1 time license key fee of $79.99 is well worth it. ZAR does an excellent job of recovering lost and deleted data at a fraction of the cost of the more expensive recovery software.

My USB flash key has been corrupted somehow and I want my 30 MB of email data back! I'm looking for a cost-effective way of retrieving this relatively small amount of data. Unfortunately, Zero Assumption Recovery failed: it did not find the important directories, whereas other products I have evaluated did. ZAR found at most about 1/3 of the data and made little or no attempt to recreate the original filesystem structure. ZAR also made a meal of the data examination process - it took rather longer than other products. Conclusion: not worth the trouble!
