How to Restore a Deleted File
-
Find and select the deleted file in the Active@ UNDELETE console
- To restore contents of the file run the Undelete
command by one of the following methods:
- Click Undelete button on the toolbar
- Right-click the file, and then click Undelete menu
item from the context menu
- Drag and Drop the selected file to another logical drive
- Copy and Paste the contents of the file, using the clipboard (Copy
command in the context menu, or button
 on
the toolbar) and paste file to another logical drive (Paste
command in the context menu, or button
 on
the toolbar)
- Select a drive and a folder for the deleted file to be restored
to using the standard Browse for Folder dialog
- After the recovery process is completed, make sure that the file
has been restored correctly by verifying its contents. In some
cases, however, a file can not be reliably restored, because its
contents or a part of it has already been overwritten
Important
For the safety reasons, the utility does not allow you to place the
restored file into the same drive by default, because a newly created
file should not overwrite the file under recovery (or a part of it),
or the contents of the other deleted files. Always restore files to
another logical, removable, floppy or network drive. However if you do
not have a choice, go to configuration and turn on the option that
allows you to restore file to the same drive.
Notes
- In some cases a file cannot be restored completely, because the
body of the file or a part of it has been already overwritten (by
some other files). In this case a warning message appears
- Deleted files differ from the non-deleted ones by icons:
grey icon means that deleted file or folder has good chances to be
recovered
 black
icon means that deleted file or folder has poor chances to be
recovered because it is being overwritten (or may be partially
overwritten) on the disk with other data
