CONCLUSION

The test of Bad Copy Pro was done to show program’s abilities, stability and compatibility, under Windows. For our test we thought these kinds of media, because those media ruin more frequently than a digital media like SmartMedia and CompactFlash (CF) cards.

Other supporting media are:

ZIP Disk Recovery:

Iomega ZIP disk, JAZ or MO DisK. It supports recovery on a single 100MB, 250MB and 750MB Zip disk.

DigitalMedia Recovery:

Supported Media are CompactFlash, SmartMedia, SD, MMC cards, Floppy Disk, ZIP, CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, Sony Memory Stick.
Supported Readers are USB, Serial Port, LPT, FireWire, Floppy Drive, CD-ROM Drive, CD-R/W Drive, PCMCIA.

Bad Copy Pro is a useful recovery utility from Jufsoft. User can have back important lost data from damaged media or devices with bad sectors or even from lapse erase command. Supports common file types, many media devices and helps the novice user with the automatic data recovery feature.

It has preview option to determine whether the files were recovered and supports HEX mode preview for the advanced users.

Unfortunately, when this program is working Windows environment become slow to any response and to redraws. Also there is a problem with the reports accuracy, as the program reports data without errors, but there are errors when we check our image, as well as, with the % error report, where the final result hasn’t relation with the reports measure.

The duration of the recovery process, as well as, the quality of the recovered files is related with the condition of damaged media.

The CD-R test shows us, that from a damaged CD we going to to have loss to our data. Under Windows we can see the media and corrupted files, but we cannot have access to them. Finally we get our files back but with a small or large loss to any of our corrupted files.

For an erased CDRW, there is no change to get your deleted data back, so be careful with your RW.

Searching for our deleted file to our hard disk, drive us to dead end. Unfortunately, Bad Copy Pro can`t help the user, when he is doing lapse erase commands to his Hard Disk Drive. Maybe there is better results with Floppy.

The test with our damaged floppy disk gave us back strange results. Comparing the results using “Rescue Lost Files - Mode #1” with those of “Rescue Lost Files - Mode #2” we show worst results from the second option, making us wonder. It suppose that the second option appears for better results, according the maiden company.

Unfortunately the odds to have data back as was before from damaged media are very small. In all cases, user has to accept a loss, except if the TOC for CDs has corruption or the boot area of a disk were damaged . At this case, the data isn’t affected. The user can’t see the media under Windows environment, so has to run to a recovery program if he want his data back.

Prevention is the best way for data protection. The user could have one or two different back ups with his important data than waiting from a recovery program, to give him lost data back without any loss, especially from a damaged or effected media.

BadCopy Pro single-user license is US$ 39.50. That price is cheaper than most data recovery services will charge you.
