GetData Software Finalist for Technical Excellence in Australian Resller News IT Industry AwardsGetData Software's Chief Programmer, Dr. Brett Hunter, has been named a finalist in the annual Australian Reseller News national IT industry awards, for Technical Excellence. Dr. Hunter has been recognised for his work in developing, together with co-directors, John Hunter and Graham Henley, Recover My Files, the world's leading data recovery software for PC's, laptops, iPods and digital still and video cameras. Recover My Files, and its partner products, Recover My Email, Recover My iPod and Recover My Photos, are now sold in more than 150 countries around the world either off one of GetData's 17 websites or through retail channels in Europe, the US, Japan and Australia. Dr. Hunter, a former nuclear physicist with ANSTO, the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, joined GetData Software shortly after it was established just over five years ago. The company's first product, Recover My Files, was an immediate online success, allowing PC users across the planet to recover important files they feared they had lost or destroyed or had been irreparably damaged, and save them on to another drive, CD or DVD or USB drive for further use. Data recovery changed for ever Dr. Hunter's work on the core data recovery engine that now is the feature of four other products changed for ever how the average user could manage their computer and data. "For a long time, if you lost vital files, it was a case of taking your computer or drive to some company who would have it for days and possibly weeks and then still not be able to guarantee they could any or all files back," Dr. Hunter said. "It was often a time consuming and often very costly exercise. "With our data recovery products, it is simply a matter of downloading the software on to your computer, directing it to search the drive on which your data had existed, and watch the files being recovered in a special preview window. "Once you see our software has recovered your files, and only then, do you have to actually buy the software. We specifically developed Recover My Files and our other recovery software to be 'try before you buy' applications." Secure purchase and own it for ever The user can then go through a completely secure purchase process to finalise the purchase and save those valuable files, whether they're documents, spreadsheets, family photos, strange graphics files. Recover My Files now recovers more than 350 different file types. "The other aspect of the products was not their technical capabilities but their cost. We wanted to bring data recovery into the reach of anyone. Recover My Files is our most expensive data recovery product and it only costs US$69.95. "And once you've purchased it, you've got for ever. So no panicking next time you have a problem. You simply send Recover My Files off to recover whatever has disappeared, whether through accident or because you deliberately deleted, and emptied from your recycle bin, some files a week or so ago but suddenly realise you need them back."
