Mistakenly Deleted Backup files

Thread needs solution

Hi,
I have the ATIH 2011. I was trying to delete only one backup file, but when did that, the program deleted all the other backup files of 2 other machines. Is there any way of getting the files back?

Thanks
Prabhu

You would need to try file recovery or file undelete software. Be aware that if any file part of a backup is missing that the entire backup will very likely be unusable. Also, if anything has been written to the drive since the files were deleted, they may already be unrecoverable.

Undeleting backups is usually futile because hdisk backups are usually too big to fit in the recycler, plus windows is writing files virtually all the time you are using it -- so recovery is hopeless as soon as you delete (the larger backup files, anyway.

I recommend to everyone that they always keep at least one backup on a drive in another location just in case of accidental deletion, hard drive failure or the storage drive, or fire and replace it with a newer backup occasionally. Someday, that lone backup might be your best friend.
