Hello and welcome to BeYourOwnIT.com’s review of data recovery tools. There are a lot of pieces of data that you could lose, one being, obviously, files you may have accidentally deleted, pictures, MP3s, movies, things like that. But there’s also things like losing your office password, having your email, Microsoft Outlook, crash. We have customers probably once or twice a week that lose thousands of emails when their PST file crashes. People lose their iPod data. They lose data, obviously, from Macintoshes. They lose photos. Any number of things, both can get corrupted or you accidentally delete them. A variety of issues can lead to that.

What we’ve done here is reviewed a couple of different data recovery tools, both photo recovery tools and, like I said, the iPod recovery tools, things like that.

A program like Data Recovery Pro, something that would get a four out of five on our rating system, is extremely versatile software. There are few things out there more frustrating than losing an important file. Luckily, the Data Recovery Pro can find almost anything, whether it’s misplaced, deleted, or formatted.

You can recover files even after reformatting a partition, which is amazing. You can recover lost songs from iPods and other MP3 players. It is really easy to use. It has the ability to recover lost email attachments, which is amazing.

It has first‑rate integrated help and support. It definitely will recover more than 90% of your missing files. It’s definitely worth giving a try. You can read more about their software here on their site, or you can download the program from our site.

Now, if you’ve ever lost a photograph, whether you’re on PC or Mac, that can be a terrible situation as well. There is a program out there for photo recovery that we reviewed. We reviewed a lot of programs, both for free and cost money from a variety of sources. We tried to put together the ones that we support. I figured, why create a page on my website for software I would never recommend to anybody.

With Stellar Photo Recovery, you can get files back quick and quickly. You can recover them from all sorts of storage devices, like camera cards, flash drives, SD cards. If you deleted the photos by accident or on purpose, you can recover them. This is an amazing tool if you’ve ever lost pictures or accidentally deleted your memory stick or memory card, flash cards, Sony memory sticks, IBM micro drives, SD cards, MMC cards, XD cards, FD cards, Zip, mini disks, CD‑ROMs. Basically, this software, if you ever lose a photo, it’s going to get it back for you.

Some of the other software that we have in data recovery, like I said before, is the iPod Recovery Tool. This, again, 4.5 out of five stars. It’s about the best tool we found out there. If it fails to locate file types or says “no photos found on this device, no files found on this device, disk is locked, can’t find the iTunes folder”. We know how iPods are with CRM. You can’t download songs over and over again. Something like this will recover music files, video files, podcasts, audiobooks, graphic files, documents, pretty much anything from all iPods, the Classic, the Mini, the Shuffle, the Nano, the Touch. It’s totally universal. Something like this really, really works.

All of the programs here in our data recovery reviews are programs that we personally have tested that work. That’s the important thing to remember. What is your time and what are your files worth? In so many cases, we see customers who lose data, download program after program after program trying to get it back. Sometimes, it finds it. Most of the time it doesn’t, or what they find is it scans, but it only recovers some, and they have to pay anyway.

We took the price out of the equation. We just tried to find the best ones out there. Most of these programs have a small cost attached with them, but compared to the cost of losing a previous piece of data, your resume, pictures, movies, music, anything like that. Typical data recovery in a computer repair shop, $200‑300.

These softwares are far more affordable than that and all rank extremely well and have all been tested by us and all work. If you know anybody’s who’s lost data or if you’ve lost data, come over to beyourownit.com and go to the review section and look at some of the software.

We’ll periodically add software in here that does the job as well, but any one of these titles we’ll put our name behind and gladly recommend them to you, our YouTube subscribers and, of course, the thousands of visitors to our website.

We hope this review helps, and if you have any questions, go ahead and email us at support@beyourownit.com.
