I like its multi-functionality. Active@ Boot Disk comes with almost all LSoft's data recovery (File & Partition recovery, Undelete), security (KillDisk, Password Changer), and backup (Disk Image) apps. Whatever the situation you find yourself in, you are covered. It is very easy to install on a USB drive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As with some of LSoft's products, having so many apps in one is both a blessing and a curse. Active@ BootDisk is 3 data recovery apps and that's two too many. One data recovery application, such as UNDELETE with its RAID recovery feature, would have been more than enough.
Another drawback is having to wait for the cumulative update for all these apps. Smaller apps, like UNDELETE, Disk Image, etc, are first to receive updates and only then do bigger apps like Active@ BootDisk and Data Studio start receiving their updates as well, which can take months.
If there is a new feature or a bugfix, you will be one of the last ones to get it. On the other hand, as I was informed by LSoft's support, if all these updates were readily available, then the users would complain that there are too many of them.
I guess there isn't perfect solution for this problem but I wish we had a choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
