What's the preferred file recovery solution if I want to repair the results of a moments spazzy-fingeredness (allied to a totally fluky loss of the backup)?
Being able ot recover anything deleted in the last 24 hours would be fine.
(Am on Tiger - was in process of prepping for Leopard upgrade)
Nah, its a bunch of 20 or so emails (.emlx extension).
Inadvertently deleted the mailbox from the desktop (don't ask),
the did some Disk Warrioring in the backup drive -
which confused Silverkeeper meaning a full, fresh, rather than incremental backup.
The I rebuilt the mailbox....
Basically, if I cn recover all emlx files deleted in the last 24-48 hours I'm good to go.
First silly question - I assume they are not in the Trash? [X-post Update] Obviously not
I used Boomerang a few weeks ago to recover some deleted files from a server where my backup regime had failed to cope. It was tedious, as the files lost all their names and dates, but it worked. [X=post Update] You can select which file types to recover, so that ought to allow you to narrow the search to just mailboxes.
Doesn't like me trying to create a file type for mail files (damn my unique mails!) and only appears to have MS file types built in.
It's not a catastrophe - only 15-20 mails gone, mostly fan mails for a client. It is a lesson in staying on the job at hand, not randomly deciding to clean up something else while at it tho'
Well, you don't *have* to limit Boomerang. You can just let it run and look for all files. It might take a bit longer, but the ones you want will probably be in the resulting pile somewhere.
Oh yup - get that thanks. In the end the desire to finally get Leoparded up took priority. Now if it had been my work email....no, that doesn't bear thinking about.
