Re: recover currupted files
Hell. If that were the case, all files would be recoverable.
Drive Savers and Ontrack can not even do that. These are the folks that
corporations send their hard drives to for recovery. I have a fellow who was
charged over $1800 for recovery and he only got back about 40% of his files.
The others were reported to be - guess what - too corrupted to recover.
If you don't backup you have no one to blame but yourself!
