Display |

Deleted entry symbol |
ASCII#229 (@). This symbol is recognized by the operating system on FAT volumes to mark deleted file or folder. |
Choose another ASCII symbol from the list:
|
|
Show deleted files only |
Disabled |
Enable this check box to display only deleted files. Note: All folders will be displayed. Non-deleted files will not be displayed. |
|
Recovery |
||
|
Confirm unerase command |
Enabled |
Clear this checkbox to eliminate the confirm dialog. |
|
Allow the same drive |
Disabled |
Enable this checkbox only if you encounter restricted drive space (hard drives, floppies, network, Zip...). When enabled, it will allow recovery of a deleted file on the same drive where it was located before deletion. But be careful, use this opportunity only if there are no other options. Deleted data can be damaged while recovery is in progress (see note below). |

Integration |

|
Integrate with Computer Management Console |
Enabled Note: This option is available in Active@ UNDELETE Enterprise version only. |
If your operating system supports Computer Management Console, you can easily integrate Active@ UNDELETE SnapIn by enabling this option. It will be displayed and accessible the same way, as other Management Console features, like Event Viewer. See Network Configuration for more information. |
(!) NOTE: WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU TO SAVE RECOVERED DATA ONTO A DIFFERENT DRIVE FROM THAT WHERE YOU FOUND DELETED FILES! Saving recovered data onto the same drive where sensitive data was located, can overwrite table records for this and other deleted entries. It is safer to save data onto another logical, removable, network or floppy drive.
