Easy Archive Recovery

Easy Archive Recovery is an application designed to find and extract files from corrupt ZIP and RAR archives, in order to get hold of your important information. It comes bundled with an intuitive set of options that can be configured by all types of users, even unskilled ones.

Following a speedy setup operation that shouldn't give you any trouble, you come face to face with a simple window. To get started, you can either indicate a ZIP or RAR archive to open, or select a local disk to scan for all available archives.

The scanning procedure may take a while, depending on the size of your hard disk as well as hardware capabilities of your computer. As soon as it's over, you can explore a tree view with the original folder structure of archives, and pick a compressed file to take a closer look inside.

File properties show the file name, compressed and uncompressed size, along with the date of last modification, To extract files, you have to first make a selection since all items are deselected by default. Afterward, you just have to tell Easy Archive Recovery where to save the extracted objects.

There aren't too many settings that can be configured for this application. You can instruct it to create a log file to allow you to study its activity (particularly helpful if you plan to leave the PC unattended during the scanning and recovery process), as well as choose a different language for the interface.

The utility carried out scanning tasks quickly during our tests, remaining light on system resources consumption throughout its runtime. Unfortunately, the unregistered version doesn't permit file extraction so users have no way of telling if it works. Also, Easy Archive Recovery hasn't received updates for a pretty long time.
