Proprietary software is bad

Proprietary software is bad for recovering data. It cost money, and you only use it once in a life time. The versions for download are crippled version that can find files that are possible to recover, but the the recovery functionality does not exist, or is limited to only 3 files or files smaller than 10 kb.

'dd' rocks.

Wikipedia has an article that covers data recovery:
