In my opinion there’s no point in investing in a computer if you aren’t going to take good care of it. That doesn’t mean you only need to avoid scratching its surface or dropping it from the second floor. It also means you need to keep its hardware and software in acceptable condition. The physical integrity of your computer is just as important as its software condition, because if the operating system isn’t in tip top shape, you risk losing data because of unexpected errors or sudden application or system crashes. If such happenings have affected you in the past, you should at least consider getting your hands on a reliable file recovery tool that will reduce the consequences of data loss. With such a tool on board you will be able to recuperate at least some of your work and your memories. In addition, such software can also assist you in case you delete by accident a file. If you take the time to locate a reliable tool you will feel less frustrated when you notice that all your work is no longer available on your computer because you have by mistake pressed the wrong key or you have caused the crash of your system.
Because I was confronted myself with data loss caused not only by accidental deletion, but also by viruses and sudden hard drive failure, I did a little research and I discovered a file recovery tool that I think should be part of all computers. The tool of my interest is known as EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard and is able to work under most Windows versions. You will be forced to use such a file recovery wizard every time you manage to format your hard drive by mistake, when an error affects the integrity of your computer’s file system, when you mange to delete an important file by accident, when application failure prevents you from safely saving an important file or when a virus takes over your computer and makes certain files inaccessible. These are just a few examples because this file recovery software is able to recover files lost because of virtually any unexpected computer behavior.
If you are interested in discovering more details about the features that EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard makes available and about the file recovery options available, you should stick around because I am going to explain you what each feature is supposed to do and for what purpose it’s integrated in the software’s interface. Before moving on, I need to warn you that this tool is not cheap. It costs $89.95, but after using it you will see that the investment is more than just worth it.
Features of EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard
The file recovery capabilities of EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard are as efficient no matter if they are used under a Windows 2000, a Windows XP, a Windows 7 or a Windows Vista system. This news qualifies it as universal tool, able to help a large number of computer users when data loss affects their computers. What I also need to mention is that this tool can deal with hard drive file recovery as well as with SD card, memory card and USB drive recovery. That means you will never again lose important files due to accidental deletion.
The four recovery methods that you will discover while browsing the interface of this file recovery software cover almost any imaginable situation. You will first of all discover a feature called “Complete Recovery” that is designed to deal with format recovery. That means it allows you to recover data lost because of formatting with the help of just a few clicks. You will also discover a module called “Deleted File Recovery” that’s designed to help you regain access to files that you have deleted by accident or intentionally and now you need. If you need to recover all the data saved on a partition that you have deleted or that has been affected by errors, you should use the “Partition Recovery” module that’s designed precisely for this purpose. The fourth file recovery option that you will discover is meant to deal with all the other sources of data loss. With its help, you will be able to recover files lost due to virus infections, unknown reasons, software crash and not only.

After you install this tool on your computer you will be impressed not only by the number of features that I’ve just mentioned, but also by the interface made available. That’s because it’s designed to be slick and extremely well organized. That’s why you will find all the features of your interest organized under a number of menus. Those menus equal the number of recovery methods made available, so everything is clear from the very start. That’s why you will find it extremely comfortable and simple to go through the process that allows you to recuperate all the files of your interest.
What also helps is that the entire process is similar with a wizard that reveals one step at a time and makes it very clear what every option you are required to check is going to do. In fact, after you choose the recovery module you want to use, all you will have to do is select the drive that you want the recovery tool to take into consideration. Then, you will have to let Data Recovery Wizard to do its job. When it’s finished you will enjoy checking out a list of results that you can then decide to recover or not. During the actual recovery process you will once again be guided by a wizard-like interface. What I also need to mention is that if the module you choose to use is “Deleted File Recovery” and the scanning process doesn’t retrieve the files of your interest, before giving up you should also use the “Complete Recovery” module that’s a little more thorough.
If this module fails to produce the expected results as well, you should move on and choose to enable RAW file recovery. This feature can be accessed and enabled by visiting the Options menu. Besides enabling RAW file recovery, this menu also gives you the chance to make the necessary settings for FAT or NTFS systems and enable the use of boot records. By enabling RAW file recovery you will be given the chance to choose between six categories of files that EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard should look for. These categories cover graphics formats and multimedia files as well as email and database formats. By narrowing down the types of files for which the software is supposed to look, you will be able to speed up the process and receive better results in less time.

About the recovery modules I can also tell you that they are designed to be similar to backup modules. You will also be given the chance to create image files. The process of creating such files is made simple by a wizard that will even help you to use one of three compression levels in order to split the image created in certain sizes. This wizard is yet another proof that EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard is designed to be a professional tool, capable of recovering most lost files.
Pros and cons
Let’s start with the list of pros, because I always like to see the positive part of things. Well, the first desirable feature that I need to highlight is the interface that’s straightforward and easy to use even by inexperienced computer users. You will also find useful the information that’s attached to each module. By reading that brief description you will be able to determine on the spot for what purpose you should use that specific module. I also find extremely desirable, the feature that allows you to create disk images and guides through the process. That image file gives you the chance to easily protect your data against virus attacks and other types of hardware failure. Another quality of Data Recovery Wizard that can’t be contested is its high performance.

On the list of cons I need to include the news that the software doesn’t produce desirable results when the target is a fully formatted drive. What I also need to mention is the trouble that you will have to go through in order to add filters and speed up the search. That’s because in order to get better results, you need to enable RAW file detection and then use it to your advantage.
Conclusions
Despite the two main downsides I mentioned, I still think that EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard is the file recovery software that you should use. That’s because it will produce results in most real life scenarios and will recover most of the data of interest. That’s an undeniable truth that I have experienced myself. What I can also tell you from experience is that the interface provided is truly as easy to use as it’s said to be. A few clicks will always take you a long way while browsing this file recovery tool’s interface.
