Prosoft Engineering’s Data Rescue 3 (http://www.prosoftengineering.com), the data rescue utility for Mac OS X, now runs natively as 64-bit on machines that support Mac OS X 10.6 (“Snow Leopard”).

“Prosoft is excited to add this improvement to Data Rescue 3,” says says Greg Brewer, CEO of Prosoft Engineering. “Now that it runs natively as 64-bit it will run faster and be able to take full advantage of all the memory in your Mac, resulting in faster scanning and recovery times. Data Rescue 3 continues to lead the way as the best selling hard drive recovery software for the Mac platform. It has been used by hundreds of thousands of Mac users worldwide over the past decade. We are dedicated to providing the best data recovery software and helping our customers that are faced with the unfortunate situation of potential computer data loss.”

Data Rescue is a hard drive and file recovery software for the Mac. It works even when your hard drive fails to mount or boot. The software doesn’t attempt any repairs to the drive it’s scanning; it focuses on data recovery, not hard drive repair. You will need to save your recovered files to either an internal or external hard drive (USB or FireWire), removable media device (such as a Zip or MO) or a networked drive.


There are two ways to run Data Rescue 3. You may run it from the Boot DVD or you may run it as an application, depending on your circumstances. Data Rescue 3 costs US$99 for a personal use license and $249 for a professional use license.
