iBoysoft Data Recovery
iBoysoft Data Recovery is a Windows and Mac utility for scanning storage devices for lost files and previewing files before purchase. Supported sources include internal and external hard drives, SSDs, USB flash drives, SD and CF cards, memory cards, digital cameras, and other disk-based devices. The free trial can scan and preview, but free recovery is limited to one; paid editions advertise unlimited data recovery. Paid Windows editions also list recovery from BitLocker drives and partitions. The software says it uses read-only access to the drive containing lost data. RAID recovery is not supported, and WinPE bootable media requires Professional or Technician edition. Windows support includes consumer releases from XP through 11 and Windows Server releases from 2003 through 2019; Mac editions list macOS versions from 10.11 through 27. Windows Basic is listed at $59.95 a month, while Mac Professional 1-month is $89.95 a month; prices exclude VAT where specified. Other listed Mac options include $99.95 a year and $169.95, paid once payment. Purchases have a 14-day money-back policy, and lifetime technical support is provided by email.
