A few months ago, I was given quite the rude awakening. I had many gigabytes of valuable data backed up to DVD+RW discs, and suddenly I was brought to the crushing realization that it was all corrupt and inaccessible.
Needless to say, this did not make me happy.
When AHQ recorded Purpose, I backed up every bit of studio data onto DVD+RW discs with my HP 300i DVD burner. I think I had 35-40 GB of material total. A year or two later I had occasion to use some of that data, and I discovered that it had seemingly disappeared!
I frantically started looking for some type of recovery software, but I didn’t expect much. I tried some $40+ outfit but it didn’t do diddly-squat (they refunded my money, so that was good). Then I tried IsoBuster. It was only $26, but the important thing is that it completely recovered all my data!
Needless to say, I was a happy camper.
Wow, I was impressed. It worked slick and effortlessly managed to manufacture all my lost data out of thin air. And it saved my bacon.
Now I’m torn between not trusting DVD’s and thinking, but I can always recover them with IsoBuster!
