MAIN FEATURES
* Lightweight (268 KB only).
* Supports FAT & NTFS.
* Supports compressed and encrypted volumes.
* Supports most storage media.
* Easy to use, just run it!
* Completely portable, works from removable media, and does not leave any residual traces.
* Software is free to use for any purposes, as soon as the code is not modified.
Note that when you restore the files from the main boot-up Hard Drive, the success rate might be lower due to the considerations of the time to recovery parameter. The software is able to restore accidentally deleted files from built-in hard disk drives as long as two the following conditions are met:
1. The file was deleted recently and no writing was made on the volume after that.
2. So, if you delete a file from a system volume (e.g. C:’), there are little chances to restore it because the OS is constantly writing on this volume (logs, registry branches, etc).
