Overall, if you are snapping loads of photos this holiday season or anytime of year, these tools can save your photos or files and let you restore them to your machine. What is wrong with you?” It has been a while, but I think the SD card backup saved the day. I lost it and yelled at the camera: “Give up? Of course I don’t want to give up.

We got to the car and as I was confirming everything was backed up before shutting down, the camera screen flashes blue and words appeared: “ Data Failure: Do you want to try again or give up.” Seriously, that was the message. My setup allowed the main files to go to a built-in 64GB memory chip, then I automatically set it to backup to a 64GB SD Card simultaneously. I had not backed up in a while due to travel and we just finished a great mountain bike adventure where I captured some terrific footage. I will close with a digital backup story that makes my son laugh: I had a mid-range digital cam for work use. Note to users: You can select which folders or drives get scanned, potentially saving your 500MB of recoverability for what you really want to keep. Still, the tool works great and will let you recover data.

So, the tool works, but the slightly unclear on-page message leaves one a bit confused, or dissatisfied. But, once I recovered a file it became clear that there is some fine print worth knowing - you can recover up to 500MB even though it says 2GB on the free page, which has a popup (if you click it) that you can recover 2GB, IF you share it on social media. It allowed me to drill down into the file folders and by types of files.

I have to say that I found the EaseUS interface easier to use and search.
