ZipRecovery

The effective way to find out if a Zip archive is recoverable is to try the demo version of ZipRecovery on it. Visit the Demo page for a free copy of the demo.

Product specifications with lists of items recovered and not recovered is available at the Product Information page.

Note: Always backup your original corrupted Zip archive before proceeding with any recovery activity!

If due to archive damage some part of the archived file has been lost, the full version of ZipRecovery will not be able to get back the file and will skip it.

Evaluating the results of demo recovery can help in making the decision.

Details of current licensing scheme are described at the Licensing page.

If your license type is Enterprise or Service, you can run ZipRecovery from command line and use these calls in your batch files. Standard version does not support command line. The format for command line call is:

zr.exe <original filename with path> "<path to directory to store the recovered file(s)>"

Please note that the directory for recovered file(s) should be created before starting the recovery.

Command line mode supports patterns '*' (replaces group of symbols) and '?' (replaces one symbol).

Try the following:

1. Create a registry value called FilesToRepairCRC (type REG_SZ) in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Recoveronix\ZipRecovery
2. List the extensions of the files that cause CRC error, using semicolon as a divider and asterisk as a filename wildcard (e.g. *.jpg;*.txt)
3. Run the recovery again
