Back to the Future Episode 5
Prosoft Engineering has released Data Rescue 3 LE, a modified version of the company's data recovery tool, in the Mac App Store. Due to Apple's restrictions the company cannot offer all of the features found in the full version of Data Rescue. As a result, the company decided to develop a limited version of the software that adhered to App Store restrictions and could be offered through Apple's new software store. Data Rescue 3 LE only works with external, non-startup drives and therefore cannot use a boot DVD to provide additional functionality. Data Rescue 3 LE is offered exclusively through the Mac App Store for $60, while a full Data Rescue 3 license can be purchased from the company's website for $100.
