Stellar Phoenix Cd Dvd Data Recovery Serial Number
Cynthia Figarsky
We recover documents, photos and videos for our customers that have lost or formatted their data or have corrupted drives. From all the programs we've tried for data recovery Stellar is one of the most reliable.
Most customers are accidentally formatting their memory cards and Stellar successfully recovers all their photos and documents. And the second most used case of Stellar Data recovery is hard drives with errors. We like that we can preview some of the files before we select what to recover because some times we don't want to recovery all files. Stellar Data Recovery has an incredible success rate for photo recovery and not only that but it can repair corrupted photos and that leaves many of our customers happy and satisfied! We've saved many marriage photos that were lost by accident or because the hard drive was almost corrupted.
The interface is very easy to use especially for first time users. It has a high success rate when it comes to data recovery. For the price it's one of the best data recovery software around. The company offers customer support via phone, email, and live chat! They also have great online informational resources for users to access. It's very easy to install.
The scan speeds are fast but recovery speeds can be very slow sometimes taking up to 12-24 hours for complete recovery time. Vector images can't be recovered by this software for some odd reason. Doesn't recovery Polaroid X3F format photos. Free version only recovery's 1GB of data do you don't really know what will be recovered unless you buy the program. What would be nice is if the program did the full scan but wouldn't allow recovery until you purchased the software license. That would allow users to safely purchase the software without going in blind. Is expensive but not as expensive as physical data recovery. The preview function doesn't always work for multimedia files.
Worse Expereice ever....little to no support and they NEVER resolved our activation key issue!
We had a working product and had to upgrade a failing laptop. We we uninstalled the working copy and took pictures each step of the way. Then when our new laptop arrived their product would NOT activate!
Many lost hours emailing back and forth and they NEVER did help us!
We ended up going with a competitor and are so happy that we did, as the competitor's product is fare supperior - save time and money and look elsewhere!
I was trying to recover my tally database files no other tool could recover that file it but this awesome tool recovered it.
It supports the vast number of file types like media files, office files, zip files and tally files also, I am amazed.
Very competitive price for the professional license, local vendors charge here more than that for 1 recovery service
To analyze recovered files this gives different types of views in this tool like
-tree view
-file type
I can view any single type of files at one place and select which files to recover
Awesome tool for the great price.
Cannot add custom signatures for unsupported file formats.
Advance partition recovery not up to the mark for recovering lost files (recovery after formatting partition) it missed some files and recovered lots of corrupted files.
I have Stellar Phoenix, which is a data recovery program and I have used it in the past with success. I recently made and saved some changes to a project without making a copy of the original and I realize this was a somewhat poor decision. My question, however, is whether a data recovery program would be able to recover the original, unaltered file, since it isn't actually a deleted project. Does saving over a project simply replace everything in it with the changes you've made, and in no way discard the actual original file, making it possible for a recovery program to recover it?
When I work on a project I will name it like this.... "project x" for arguments sake and then when I have made significant changes it will be saved as "project x 2" then "project x 3" and so on... these all stay in the project folder so it does not make a mess, its great.
This has saved me a few times from really cocking up a mix when I'm doing it late at night with tired ears and I know I shouldn't, then the next day the inevitable happens, I end up going back a number to where I should of left it be for the night lol
I think I've made more changes than what Logic stores in its undo section (isn't that limited to 30?), and even then, I'm fairly certain I only have it set to keep track of 10 undo steps for CPU's sake.
I already accidentally deleted an entire finished project in the past, but got it back with Stellar Phoenix. That was a huge wake-up call, and I can admit I've been neglecting to setup Time Machine or the like. Will do...
I work for a computer repair shop in Seattle, WA that also performs quite a bit of data recovery for our clients. In the almost 7 years I have worked for this shop I have gotten fairly good at using logical data recovery programs such as R-studio (Mac and PC), Get Data Back, Data Rescue, CnW, Stellar Phoenix, and Reclaime for RAIDS. For imaging drives that are failing badly we were using DDRescue. For anything that we could not recover using those tools we would send to Drive Savers.
I am far from being an expert in data recovery so please forgive me if my descriptions are lacking in technical detail. Data recovery has always fascinated me so in the last year I have been making an effort to read up on some of the more advanced data recovery methods. I came across the post on Technibble about the demo program for the new RapidSpar so I signed up. It took several months to get the demo unit but about a month ago I received a demo RS and gave it a try.
If the file system mounts, which most of the time it does, you are able to select which directories or files you would like to recover and save them to a target drive, network share, etc. When saving the data there is an option that you can select that will skip files with bad blocks. There is another option that allows you to skip files that have already been recovered which is handy if you need to stop and restart a recovery. If the RSA is not able to see the file system then the entire drive must be imaged to a target drive and the target drive will need to be scanned with logical data recovery software.
The week before I was to receive the RS I lined up half a dozen failing hard drives that normally we would have sent out to the clean room. For most of these clients the price of sending a drive to the clean room was more than they could afford.
A few of these drives were drives that were failing badly and I had attempted to image using DDRescue. I was able to image them but they were yielding data very slowly (under 1 MB/second) and would have taken months to complete imaging process. For these drives the RapidSpar was able to recover the data in a small fraction of the time that it would have taken to image the drive with DDRescue. I was able to finish each of these data recoveries in few days at the most.
One of the drives was a 5 TB Western Digital MyBook...yes, the kind with the automatic encryption in the bridge board that we all know and love. The bride board was fine but the drive inside had thousands of reallocated and pending sectors. The drive contained over 3 TB of RAW photos and to image this drive, or even just the 3 TB at the beginning of the drive containing the data, would have taken over a month imaging the drive with DDRescue over USB3 at the rate the drive was willing to yield data. For this recovery I had to purchase the exact same model of Western digital hard drive and use the RS to make an sector by sector copy of the failing drive to the new drive. It took about 3 1/2 days to clone the entire drive. Once complete, I put the target drive into the enclosure and was able to access the data with no problems.
There were a pair of drives that were both failing badly with thousands of uncorrectable sectors. When trying to image these drives with DDRescue I was able to image a small portion of the drive but then the image process would end because it saw the remainder of the drive as one giant error. The RSA was able to mount the file table and selected the data that I wanted to recover. From these drives I was able to get partial recoveries of intact (not corrupted) data that far exceeded the portions of the drive that I was able to image with DDRescue.
The last drive was from a Seagate Expansion Drive with 3.5 inch drive inside. This drive was not reporting the correct size nor was it reporting the drive's model or serial numbers. This RS was not able to access this drive at all. The RapidNebula, was not able to access the drive or able to recommend firmware fixes for this drive.
Even though Linux operating systems are secure from so many troubles created by virus/malware and some other like threats, people do not generally use them for performing their day-to-day tasks. Well, this is all due to the fact that Linux platform is not that user-friendly. However, a few other platforms like Windows and Mac OS X have grabbed considerable number of users. I personally believe that Linux would not be able to grasp as many users as the latter ones have already done.
The Linux based machines are preferred mainly in corporate as secure workstations or as servers. Thus, you can surely understand the significance of the data stored on those systems. When such a machine is formatted clean and upgraded to Windows OS after that, you must be pretty sure that not a single crucial file is lost in the mean time. Well, it does happen sometimes and cause data loss. Stellar Phoenix Linux Data Recovery software aims at recovering your data that was lost after deleting Linux based partitions. This Windows based Linux data recovery software thoroughly scans the hard drive installed on your PC and discovers the deleted Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, and FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32 file systems based partitions.
