I have had no problems with this outstanding progremm. A word to those people who may have had some problems. If the 'DataNemen Rar Repair' Programme fails to repaire a file in some instances try repairing it in another directory \_ a directory on an external flash or hard-drive yealded the best results for me. It is only occassionally that I have to do this though, most of the time it works perfectly.

I would be more than happy to leave feed-back regarding my positive engagement of your product \_ some advice too as to the very occassional failur of the 'DataNewmen Rar Repair' programme to repair a rar file. I find that when this happens, success in repairing the file in question has always been achieve by moving it to another directory and repeating the function there \_ typically to an external flash or hard-drive.

If you need to endorce my appraisal of the product with any of my personal details could you just limit it to the region \_ 'United Kingdom'. Thanks

## Using DataNumen RAR Repair to Recover Damaged RAR Archive 

---

[See Video Tutorial ](https://youtu.be/9IulG7xIsMI) 

Start DataNumen RAR Repair.

![DataNumen RAR Repair 4.0]()

**Reminder:** Prior to repairing a RAR archive, ensure that WinRAR and any other programs that might access the RAR archive are closed.

Choose the damaged or corrupt RAR archive to be repaired:

![Select Source File]()

You can either type in the RAR file name directly or use the ![Browse]() button to navigate and select the archive. Alternatively, you can click the ![Find]() button to find the RAR archive on your local machine.

By default, our recovery software will recover the RAR archive and extract files in it to a folder xxxx\_recovered, where xxxx is the original RAR file name. For instance, if the source archive is Damaged.rar, the default destination directory will be Damaged\_recovered. Should you prefer a different name, please choose or set it accordingly:

![Select Output Directory]()

You can enter the desired output directory name directly, or use the ![Browse]() button to navigate and choose it.

Press the ![Start Repair]() button, and our recovery software will initiate the scan and repair process with its advanced algorithms. It will show the progress like below:

![Progress Bar]()

Once the repair is complete, if our tool has successfully fixed the archive, a message box will appear as follows:

![Success Message Box]()

Now, you can check the recovered files in the output directory.
