Boomerang Data Recovery

People like to store all sort of data on their computers, but there's always a risk of losing it due to a system error or system malfunction. One of the applications that could help recover data is Boomerang Data Recovery.

It's a small but very clever program designed for recovering personal files from damaged or corrupt storage devices.

The application installs almost instantly and it doesn't come with a setup that you would need to complete. It sports a really clean and intuitive graphical interface with lots of tools and features that you can access.

There's a help menu, but you'll find essential tips and instructions on the developer's website. It would have been nice if it had some settings and you could adjust some options inside the program.

It automatically displays your hard drives in the main window, as well as external storage devices that you might connect to your computer. It displays the disk name, capacity and some information on it.

You can select a disk to scan for lost partitions or select one to scan for deleted files. Some scan settings can be adjusted, you can check date or time field of file descriptors, enable the search for redundant folder clusters or use FAT copies.

You can adjust some NTFS settings, use partition tables, enable boot records and use the tool that performs extensive volumes search. It also allows you to pick from multiple scan options, either a legacy scan, which is slower or the standard scan option.

It displays the total number of recovered files, as well as their type and location. Boomerang Data Recovery is a small but clever application for recovering data from damaged partitions or external storage devices.
