Turning it into an error free (as much as possible) coherent tool or piece of information is what costs huge amounts of time and thus money.Īnd also, if you're a user of ReclaiMe Pro, examples in the book also use that software. Just like the ReclaiMe Pro software which isn't cheap, it represents countless hours of research and knowledge.Īgain, this knowledge can also be found online for free, just like coding some ad hoc tools for recovering data from specific scenarios can be done for free. Always hard to put a price tag om something. Time saved gathering all that information online probably costs much more than the price of the book. From a business perspective, yes, specially if you lack knowledge with regards to logical data recovery. Well, not as a private person, who likes to dig for information himself online. They sure know what they're talking about. The style of writing is much as their YT videos ( ), very to the point but without the cute Russian accent (depending if you like that or not). Detailed enough to base your own file recovery code upon. Learn how data is stored in NTFS, in there too, very detailed. You want to know recoverability of deleted files in EXT3 or EXT4? It's all in there. You want to learn about RAID? It's all in there. Somebody already has done all the research for you. So IOW, the info is not unique for the most part, but it's all there. But even then, I had moments where I read things I didn't know yet, only to later find references online too. There's no trade secrets that are revealed inside the book. If it's a good book depends on what you're looking for.Īlso, given enough time and perseverance all information can be found online too. It's focus is logical data structures, meta data and that kind of stuff.

It's not a book that will learn you data recovery step by step.
