GetDataBack for NTFS Portable 4.33

GetDataBack for NTFS Portable by Runtime Software is a standalone data recovery tool designed specifically for NTFS file systems. It helps you restore files and folders from damaged, formatted, corrupted, or otherwise inaccessible NTFS volumes without installing software on the host PC. The portable build runs from a USB stick or external drive, making it ideal for on-site recovery, locked-down systems, or situations where writing to the affected disk must be avoided.

Key features:

• Portable and installation-free: Launch directly from removable media; leaves no footprint on the host system.
• Read-only and safe: Does not write to the problem drive, preserving the original data and reducing risk.
• NTFS-focused recovery: Reconstructs directory structures and recovers files from NTFS volumes, including support for long filenames, Unicode, and NTFS compression.
• Multiple recovery scenarios: Useful after accidental deletion, quick/full format, partition loss, file system corruption, malware incidents, or power failures.
• Intelligent scanning: Analyzes file system metadata (such as the MFT) to rebuild the file tree, with file preview before copying.
• Broad device support: Works with internal and external HDDs/SSDs and USB-attached NTFS drives on Windows PCs.
• Modern compatibility: Runs on current 32- and 64-bit Windows versions.

Notes and limitations:

• Recovery is not possible if data has been overwritten; success depends on the condition of the drive and how much new data has been written.
• Encrypted files (for example, EFS) require the original encryption keys for access.
• For drives showing signs of hardware failure, create a sector-by-sector image first and recover from the image.

Basic use:

1. Connect the problem drive to a Windows PC and run the portable executable from a separate, healthy drive.
2. Scan the target NTFS volume and review the reconstructed file tree.
3. Preview files, then copy recovered data to a different drive (never back to the source).
