I bought this product because I was looking for a low-cost solution to some data-loss issues. I found that it is pretty effective at retrieving many deleted files, and does a better job than many other low-cost or free programs of this type. It even allows you to preview the files before restoring them. However, I am quite disappointed by the fact that the program cannot restore the original file and folder structures, or even the original names of the files themselves, which can create a great deal of confusion when it comes to sorting the restored files. Therefore, if these issues are of concern to you, I would recommend spending a bit more if necessary to buy software that provides these features.
