The 1 GB quota isn't clear if that is per backup job, or the total size
of all files included in all backup jobs. $70 for the paid unlimited
version. Because of the backup size limit, this seems baitware.

I was going to suggest getting Macrium Reflect instead, except they
devolved to subscriptionware ($40/year). AOMEI Backupper has a free
Standard version (no backup size limit, 1 license/PC), and a perpetual
non-subscription version (also $70). There are many free for
personal-use backup solutions that do not have the 1 GB limit.

This is a program that recovers files, not a backup program.
I have posted in the past about Puran File Recovery.
I thought this was an acceptable alternative for those who rarely need this type of program.

Ah, thanks for the update. Be interesting to know how this one compares
against others. Considering the size of today's drives, 1 GB is really
just a teaser quota.

Their review is biased since it is Wondershare reviewing competing
products to compare against theirs. They cost more, and have only a 100
MB teaser quota. Teaser quotas are typical to many recovery tools.

https://recoverit.wondershare.com/data-recovery-free.html

They mention the Minitool Power Data Recovery tool which has the same 1
GB quota, and same price. I've used the free Minitool Partition Wizard
which has worked well, and which replaced the free Easeus Partition
Master tool.

I've seen users here mention PhotoRec and TestDisk for file recovery.
Those are always free with no teaser quota, but they don't hand-hold as
do the more glitzy tools.

Looks like Puran File Recovery is also free without a teaser quota.

Hopefully these recovery tools perform a safe recover by finding and
copying the files to somewhere else. If they wrote to the same drive
then they would be stepping atop other files. Even trying to mend the
file system to resurrect recovered files can lose other files. Also,
just because they resurrect lost files doesn't mean the files are
usable. You have to test the recovered files to ensure they're usable.
