dotTech Advice

In the hour or so I spent with Auslogics File Recovery 3, I was impressed. Of course an hour isn’t long enough to fully understand the ins and outs of a software, or to properly determine its quality or lack thereof (since this is a 24-hour giveaway I didn’t want to waste all day reviewing it only to post about the giveaway when it is also over — hence only spending an hour or so). However, in the little time I spent with it, I learned Auslogics File Recovery is fast (took about 20 minutes to do a deep scan on a 19.5 GB partition) and works fairly well (found about 5,000 files, mostly images). Plus it is user-friendly with features such as: Searching for all files or only pictures/audio/video/documents/software; searching by name; searching by file last modified; doing a deep scan or not; file preview (for some types of files — not all); and powerful filtering capabilities for scan results. In addition, it has some nice extras such as secure file deletion; disk wiping; find lost partitions; and disk imaging.

On the other hand, Auslogics File Recovery does not come with nor does it allow users to create a recovery/rescue disk for file recovery operations while outside of Windows, which is disappointing.

Overall, I haven’t spent too much time with the software but based off the time I did spend with it, Auslogics File Recovery 3 has impressed. Get it if you want or need a file recovery software.
