Chapter 1. OVERVIEW
This chapter gives an overview of Active@ UNDELETE application.
Active@ UNDELETE is a powerful software utility, designed to
restore accidentally deleted files and directories. It allows you to
recover files that have been deleted from the Recycle Bin, as well as
those deleted after avoiding the Recycle Bin (e.g. Shift-Delete).
You can recover your data even if the partition where your files were located has been deleted or damaged.
Active@ UNDELETE will help you to restore data, residing on hard
drives or floppy drives formatted in any of the following file
systems:
- FAT12
- FAT16
- FAT32
- NTFS
- NTFS5
It works under all Windows family operating systems:
- Windows 95
- Windows 98
- Windows ME
- Windows NT
- Windows 2003
- Windows XP
Active@ UNDELETE is integrated with Microsoft Management Console (MMC)
interface, allowing you to use the utility for business applications
by incorporating it into a company infrastructure (using Active
Directory). It has advanced capabilities to work with remote machines.
Active@ UNDELETE has a Wizard, that gives expert users full control over the process of data restoration. This
advanced recovery feature allows you to restore the contents of
partially-overwritten files.
The free evaluation version has full functionality of all features
with a limitation only on maximum size of the file being restored.
PROTECT THE DRIVE LOCATION WHERE YOU HAVE ACCIDENTALLY DELETED
FILES. Any program that writes data to the disk, even the installation
of data recovery software can spoil your sensitive data.
DO NOT SAVE DATA ONTO THE SAME DRIVE THAT YOU FOUND ERASED DATA,
WHICH YOU ARE TRYING TO RECOVER! While saving recovered data onto the
same drive where sensitive data was located, you can spoil the process
of recovering by overwriting table records for this and other deleted
entries. It is better to save data onto another logical, removable,
network or floppy drive.
IF YOU HAVE AN EXTRA HARD DRIVE, OR OTHER LOGICAL DRIVES THAT ARE
BIG ENOUGH, CREATE A DISK IMAGE. A Disk Image is a single-file mirror
copy of the contents of your logical drive. Backing up the contents of
the whole drive - including deleted data - is a good safety precaution
in case of failed recovery. Before you start recovering deleted files,
create a Disk Image for this drive.
