It's funny that someone already mentioned it above: Selkie Rescue is the one that I have always trusted. Only last week when I installed the new Itunes and it gave me the BSOD I had to use it so I would'nt lose my data when restoring my computer before the new install of ITunes. I think people should have a back-up system AND a data recovery program, regardless. I never back-up my data so I always like to have a do-it-yourself data recovery program on hand just in case.

I work for a data recovery company, and we are constantly shocked by the stats re people who don't back up their computers at all. I came to work for Selkie Software after my computer crashed and they helped me to get all my data back - I had some backups, but my last backup had been about a week before that. Being an avid photographer, I thought there would be stuff that I couldn't retrieve, but I was able to get everything back with Selkie Rescue Data Recovery. Data recovery is one of those things you never want to think about - you don't want to anticipate your computer crashing or losing all your files - but the reality is that it happens more frequently than any of us want to know. Selkie is a bootable CD (and soon to be available as a bootable USB key as well) that you CAN use after the fact. Windows does not have to be intact as Selkie Rescue goes under the operating system to give you access to all your files on the broken computer. Check it out at www.selkierescue.com.

When we talk about computer failure, we really mean Hard Drive failure, in 10+ years of working as a web designer I've never had to suddenly replace a whole computer... The HD is the computer part most likely to fail without much warning. And for that, the best remedy is to have a bootable mirror of your drive automatically updated every night. When the main drive fail, you just restart from the other drive... I wrote an article on how to set this up, as well as an automatic off location backup of your work files, to minimize effects of serious accidents like fire etc...
