Easy Archive Recovery 2.0

As its name implies, the program allows you to recover deleted files from your computer in a very easy way. It has a wizard that lets you choose among two options: search for data files so that you find out the recoverable .zip and .rar files and open those files so that you can recover data from specific files.

The program can perform two types of scanning: raw and normal. The raw search is quicker.

The time of scanning will depend on the size of your drive. In my case, it took around an hour for the program to scan my 250 GB drive. Once the scanning is finished, the program analyzes the files to detect those that are recoverable. This can take another hour or so. Once this process is finished, the program shows you a comprehensive list of the files that can be recovered. You can choose to recover them all or just select the ones you need.

The trial version explores and detects the recoverable files, but does not allow you to actually recover any of them. To do so, you need to purchase a license, which is not very affordable. This is, in my opinion, the main drawback of the program.
