Someone deleted a folder on a server. The most resent back up is about a month old. We need the data lost ASAP from that harddrive. Any ideas short of a data recovery center?

Do a search on the web for diskedit. You will find some utilities you can download.

But, unless you are familiar with editing files through a utility like diskedit it will look like a foriegn language to you. You must be able to determine the EOF(end of file) and such. You can repair dead drives in some cases, restore partitions and files.

If you don't know how to use these types of utilities I would leave it to the experts. Use the recommendation above. Also, The more data that is written to the drives the less chance you have of retieving the data.

The data is still there on the drive but, the OS has has now made the space the data resides in available. Which means as more data is saved to the harddrives the old data is overwritten. Any option you go with is likley to cost you some bucks.

Act fast!!! Good luck.
