GetDataBack for NTFS is a file recovery software solution that was specifically designed to work with NTFS drives, attempting to restore the lost data, whatever the reason.

The installation process is nothing special, but the setup kit warns the user several times that it’s better to install the app on a different drive than the one you wish to scan for recovering files, just to achieve a greater efficiency rate.

The same applies to the help file as well, as we’re all recommended to even drop the files on a different computer and connect the hard disk we wish to use for recovery.

The interface might be a bit overwhelming at the first sight, but it has all been designed as a wizard, thus assisting the user all the time.

For example, the app prompts you from the first screen to describe the way you lost your data, providing multiple options such as a system file system damage, a sustained one, or a sudden partition loss.

Click Next to select the drive you want to recover the data from, be they physical drives, logical drives, image files, virtual images or remote physical drives.

Plus, there are also some important options to be configured before the scanning process per se begins, such as excessive search, recover deleted files, bad sector strategy or excluded file.

The scanning process takes just a few seconds without hampering computer performance at all, but it’s recommended to close the other programs and avoid using the machine during this time.

GetDataBack for NTFS worked flawlessly during our test and although it does come with a pretty hefty price, it’s still a smart investment if it really helps you recover important files removed accidentally.
