I have a serious problem and I am not sure if there is anyway back. I have a Win NT Server that acts as a File Sharing Server.

I was accidentally on the Server the other day and deleted some info out. It is not in the Recycle Bin....how can I get it back.

The tapes that were backing up the Server had failed from the night before so they will not work.

I tried GetDataBack Demo Version, and a few other Recover but none seem to work. I haven't tried EasyRecovery yet?

Anyone have any ideas, suggestions, or tools that I can use to retrieve this data?

Does that work for Win NT. It doesn't seem to want to install.

easy recovery would be my choice. it has never failed me yet, including 14,000 infectied files from virii.

PC inspector saved my butt one weekend, I typed format c: instead of format D: and promptly erased all my Dad's data on his c drive
I had NO back ups
I ran another file recovery tool and got maybe 5% of the data, Well PC inspector got 100% of the Xp partition back, This is after using Maxblast to copy an operational Win 98se partition over the XP ntfs partition and then the format over that when I typed format c: instead of d :
PC inspector rescued the XP partition and I was able to copy it back onto an old ten gig drive I had laying around
That was amazing, I knew that a standard format will not erase the data only a good zero fill
I may try PC inspector on other formatted drives and see what I get, Good little piece of free ware :)
