RAR Recovery Toolbox 1.1

To take advantage of the functionality the Recovery Toolbox-developed application RAR Recovery Toolbox (or Recovery Toolbox for RAR) has to offer, you must first get the application off the web and onto your computer. The good news is that the download weighs in at some 1.6MB. At such a lightweight download size, it takes very little time for the download to complete.

After the download completes, you must install the application on your Windows-powered PC. The good news is that the installation process is fairly straightforward and goes along smoothly. You should be done in no time at all.

RAR Recovery Toolbox can be installed on numerous versions of the Microsoft-developed Windows operating system. At the time of writing this, and according to the application’s developer, RAR Recovery Toolbox provides support for Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP, and Windows Vista.

Finally, it is time to start using the RAR Recovery Toolbox application. The functionality this application provides is somewhat obvious from the app’s name. If it isn’t let me spell it out for you: you can use RAR Recovery Toolbox to recover data from corrupted RAR archives. The application works by scanning the archive, detecting the data structure, and recovering as much data as it can. The application employs various data recovery algorithms to recover as much data as possible from the corrupted archive – thus you will lose the least amount of data.

To better put things in perspective, here are some other bits this application can do:
- RAR Recovery Toolbox will recover encrypted data.
- RAR Recovery Toolbox will recover data from password-protected ZIP archives.
- RAR Recovery Toolbox works with archives larger than 4GB.
- RAR Recovery Toolbox works over the local network.

Please note that RAR Recovery Toolbox is only free to try. You can use the application free of charge for as long as you want, but unless you register, you will not be able to use the Save function (Save is disabled in the trial version).
