I was feeling suicidal. I accidentally deleted 3.49 GB worth of irreplaceable data, hard-earned game saves, priceless pictures and other important files. Considering that I store all my passwords in an Access database file, and since it’s gone AWOL, I was probably locked out from many online accounts for good, including this very blog. I just don’t keep backups - they’re damn useless to me, until this incident happened.

Luckily, Recover Files 2 was out there to save my day. This handy little app retrieved almost all my files virtually intact. And best of all it’s totally free to use! No trials, no limitations and the author doesn’t even ask for a donation. Makes me think why I pay so much for useless softwares that does nothing.

If you just deleted some hard to replace data, Recover Files 2 is your best bet. The interface is clean and easy to use. Plus, it’s one of Computer Shopper’s Top 25 downloads for 2008.

Not only are my passwords database intact, but now I can get back to Crysis without having to play the game all over again. And best of all, I’m back on my blog. Hell yeah.
