I have on my computer Easeus Data Recovery Wizard 5.0.1, which was available on GAOTD on February 16, 2010; version 11.5 is the current one. It's a suspiciously similar name, so I think we should know if this product is an imitation (or, not to beat about the bush, a rip-off) of the Easeus program. The other Eassos products also reflect the EaseUS range: for instance, I have used (and liked) Eassos Partition Guru; Easeus offer Partition Manager. Both companies are Chinese. What is going on here?

Well, it MIGHT be a rip-off... but really, would any Chinese company use a name that was so similar to another Chinese company? I somewhat doubt it, personally. They do have LAWS in China, you know.. (!) The company is located in Qinhuangdao, a port city on the coast of China's northeastern Hebei province, nearly 200 miles from Beijing.

I could be wrong, but I would suspect the owner of both companies is the same -- it is just another brand name, perhaps of a "cheaper" version. Remember how Philips Electrical used to have about four or five different brand names in the (showing my age here....!) sixties and seventies: Philips, Stella, Cossar, Sierra (in the US), etc.?

Actually, I would love to give this a try, to hopefully regain the data purposely wiped off a couple of my HDDs by someone who was close to me -- but right now, although the ReadMe provides the licence number, I cannot find where to enter it!

In my case, I am risking nothing to give it a go -- since I will of course sensibly make disk IMAGES of the effected HD's, and work on THOSE, rather than the original hard disks. When it is that important, you take every precaution....

Now, if I can just find where to put that licence number...

-- JUST found it! You need to choose one of the four possible actions first -- ie. Recover deleted files, recover lost partitions -- THEN it becomes obvious....

FWIW Eassos apps look nothing like those from EaseUS. And after seeing dozens of what to me frankly are rather silly brand names, for allegedly gaming mice & keyboards out of China, I've given up trying to make any sense of them.

Personally I keep 3 Eassos apps handy: Recovery, System Restore, & PartitionGuru, mainly because they can be used without installation. I don't consider them fully portable because running them can add entries to the registry. IMHO they're not yet best in class, but they do work -- I use them when it's convenient &/or impossible to install alternatives... Recuva is available as a portable app, so there is an alternative for file recovery, but when it comes to image backups & partitioning, not so much. [AOMEI says in their readme file for Partition Assistant that it's now portable, but I haven't had a chance yet to test that claim.]

Sorry. I forgot one other thing. Only one of them has valid nameserver listings in who.is. Which means that the one without them (easus.com) is dead in the water at the moment and explains why I got a server not found when trying to reach the site or its indexing.

makingmagic,

Try searching for EaseUS.com, that's the name of the popular computer software, not as in your spelling.

Two questions that, in my opinion, determine the value of such software:
1. does the software has an option to produce a bootable disc with the recovery application,
2. how about the portability of this soft?
I am confused to see that the developers have not provided any relevant information on GAOTD concerning their offer.
Anybody knows answers to my questions? I’d appreciate them.
