One day you're chugging merrily along, and then you're staring at your Linux machine that won't boot -- a machine that just happens to contain everything of importance to you. While some degree of disaster is inevitable, it's how you cope with it that counts.
Linux operating system basically works with Ext2, Ext3 and Reiser FS file systems and can undergo data loss instances with regard to many causes. I am a Linux user and thus don’t want any such mishappening with me.
Few days back, I got a chance to test one of the Linux recovery software called Stellar Phoenix Linux Data Recovery software. I had heard lots of plus points about the software and the test revealed the truth. Stellar Phoenix Linux Data Recovery is the read-only software and thus I suppose that it gives safe Linux data recovery. All the file systems are supported and the best part is that it works for all the flavors of Linux.
That can't make in linux based because linux has data recovery stuff already in the package.
Why I would want to use this over a live cd I don't know, I guess I felt I had a lot of money to waste on proprietary software would be one, but that doesn't seem like it will happen.
Right.
As I recall, many of the commercially available data recovery programs used to use self booting media.
Now they just make them windows apps.....which means if it's your one and only windows machine that has fried, you need to find another windows machine to install the software on to recover your data...
It's just...illogical...
I too can't understand how this is better than, say, Puppy. Puppy boots quickly, it requires just a few clicks, and yes it provides a GUI. It couldn't be simpler. It's definitely easier than using this Windows-based "thing".
Given the breadth and quality of data recovery software for Linux, and indeed Windows, that runs on Linux, and which runs from a Live CD of Linux, even if one didn't have a second PC running Linux, which is more likely than having a second PC running Windows, this windows based recovery software seems rather pointless, just someone trying to profit from ignorance, I suppose.
