Hello to all :slight_smile:

Recently I have been working on a Bulgarian translation for a-squared Anti-Malware , unfortunately I forgot to make a backup of the language file. So by mistake my brother deleted the file and now all my work is gone :cry: (the translation was almost ready)

Do you know some good FREE Data recovery program, which I can use to recover the deleted file?

Thanks 8)

Thanks for the link Bob, right now I’m downloading PC-Inspector File Recovery, so lets see if this will help :slight_smile:
Thanks again ;D

You’re welcome. Hope it works.

Unfortunately none of the programs in Bob’s link worked :cry:
Any other suggestions? Or I’ll have to start the translation from the beginning :-\

Have you visited somewhere like download.com, http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0.html?tg=dl-2001&qt=undelete&tag=srch, snapfiles.com http://www.snapfiles.com/get/restoration.html, etc. or done a google search ?

UnDelete rings a bell and returns many hits http://www.google.com/search?q=UnDelete.

Hello David :slight_smile: . Thanks for the reply. Yes, I’ve checked a few programs before posting here (mainly from Download.com), but with no success ( I should have mentioned this in my first post, sorry) .
So far, I’ve checked - eData Unerase Personal 3, Undelete Plus 2.2, PC-Inspector File Recoery, ADRC Data Recovery Tools 1, FreeUndelete 2, Restoration. :-
But my i-net connection is slightly slow, and I cannot affort to download every program I find.
So, I thought that someone here may know some good recovery program ::slight_smile:

Sorry UnDelete is the only one I had any experience with some time ago and they are never 100% anyway as new files are created it may overwrite any free space.

I no longer have any file recovery programs as I have a small program called mirror and a batch file shortcut that I execute a few times a day and also a weekly image of my primary HDD partitions.

It’s OK, Thanks for the help anyway :slight_smile:
I’ve already started to translate the file again :stuck_out_tongue:
