Current opinions on Data Rescue 4? - dmann - 11-30-2014 Eyeing this special from our gracious hosts: Data Rescue 4 I'm running 10.9.5 on a MBP. Any thoughts (related to Data Rescue 4?) DM Re: Current opinions on Data Rescue 4? - C(-)ris - 11-30-2014 It works great...but do you have a use for it? It isn't particularly useful except for recovering files. But it does do a great job of that. Re: Current opinions on Data Rescue 4? - dmann - 11-30-2014 No immediate need- thinking of it more like an insurance policy. Just operating on the "when" not "if" rule of HD failure. I do keep a current backup, but due to work travel, it isn't always handy. Thinking this could be a good thing to have on hand in my travel bag. DM Re: Current opinions on Data Rescue 4? - modelamac - 11-30-2014 Insurance is exactly why I have it and have kept it up to date for years. I had to use it about 6 ears ago and not since, but it saved my bacon, and that is what counts. I have two other apps I treat the same way: Disk Warrior and Pacifist. dmann wrote: Re: Current opinions on Data Rescue 4? - space-time - 11-30-2014 dmann wrote: 2.5" USB 3 hard drives are small, fast, and fit nice into your travel bag.

Re: Current opinions on Data Rescue 4? - sekker - 12-01-2014 64GB usb sticks are also quite inexpensive these days and make great short-term backups. When I travel, I also use Dropbox to backup my main files I've worked on - but need an Internet connection. I used to carry the usb hard drive, but dumped it for the flash drive awhile back. |
