Auslogics File Recovery 11.0.0.5

When losing or accidentally deleting sensitive documents or media files that are important to you, all you can think of is finding a simple and reliable tool to bring them back. Auslogics File Recovery can easily be such a tool – it provides a clear and easy-to-navigate interface and, most importantly, it is capable of retrieving any kind of file from any kind of drive safely and in one piece.

The trial version of the program will allow you to recover as many under-100KB software files (.exe, .msi, etc.) as you can in thirty days, though in batches of no more than 10 per scan. Limited as it sounds, that’s enough to check that the program does work, which is much more than what many other similar tools offer to their potential users.

The program will scan the drive(s) selected, regardless of where they are – inside your computer or connected to it via its USB ports. If your computer has specific slots for memory cards (SD, CompactFlash, etc.), they will also appear on the program’s list of drives when in use. The scan process itself is thorough, which means that it will search for any file susceptible to being retrieved and that the whole process will take some time. However, you can make use of the filters provided and tweak some of the scan settings available to shorten the waiting time. Files can also be previewed before recovering them, but that’s one of the things for which you’ll have to upgrade to the Pro version (there’s not much to see on the executable files supported by the trial version).

Auslogics File Recovery offers simplicity and reliability, the two more important features of any tool that promises to bring back your most sensitive or simply your most cherished files. As a bonus, the program comes with a useful and powerful File Shredder and a Free Space Wiper to clean up your system’s free sectors.
