Hi
Basically I had a shared folder on my comp, with all my pictures on it, litterally everything, biking, holidays, and now its just gone, Ive searched for the file and some of the pictures and none of them can be found.

Does anyone know of any good data recovery software, or any other way of getting it all back Sad.

Luke

Same happened to me. Lost about 3000 photos from my exchange year in South Carolina doing marine biology.
Was so pissed off.
I had pictures of our Dolphin necropsy and everything. I kid you not the bollocks on this dolphin were bigger than my head! Shocked

I hope you can recover them mate. I never did and it still makes me sad when i think about how many memories i have forgotten that were in those vids and pics Crying or Very sad

I'll get back to you with an activation code.

I downloaded it a while ago and got an activation code that worked from www.serials.ws but it seems they don't have one for this latest release.

Both I think. My pictures jsut disappeared one day and I couldnae find half of them, even after using the program. So it does both. Just you know...search for /jpg or something like that.

And next time save stuff you can't afford to lose elsewhere too. Even I know that.

It's not like DVDs are expensive these days.

So if I accidentally format a mobile phone memory card this program would be able to recover them?

Should do, as with all that type of program it depends how long the info has been deleted as the segment/cluster it is in is usually overwritten time and time again. So its best to run the prog ASAP.

Working in IT, I see this a lot, I have seen people loose everything.

Where are your backups I ask, our remote users have a DVD writer, memory pens and sometimes DAT drives.

I go the other way, I have 2 hard drives in each computer and I have robocopy scripts that synchronise all my pictures and documents, between both computers.

So I have 4 hard drives with everything on.

Then I burn out a DVD at least once a month, 1 goes in the car or the garage and more often than not one to my mother for a total off site backup.

Only 1?? You can't have much stuff to back up! Razz

To try to ensure my digital photos are safe, I employ the following:

A linux server built with two 250GB drives and two 120GB drives. The 120GB drives are mirrored, and the 250GB drives are mirrored. This gives me a 120GB raid device for the OS and non-essential data, and a 250GB raid device for my important files, photos, music, etc.

I then have my desktop windows PC. I copy my photos off my camera onto my desktop PC. I then use a file synchronisation application called 'unison' to mirror the photos from my PC onto my server.

I also have some pictures mirrored onto my work laptop.

I'm now in the process of looking for a tape drive to attach to my server which will allow me to make further 'offline' backups of my data.

Nothing is ever 100% safe though. Wink

One of the best file recovery programs I've used is https://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/UK/welcome.htm

Very good and more importantly very free.

No 1 DVD just does me, my documents is only 100mb or so, the odd letter (I do most stuff like that at work anyway).

Picture whise i've had a digital camera for 5 years, and have about 4gbs worth. (I don't take loads and uptill 2 years ago I was on a 1.3mega pixel).

I think it'll be a dual layer disk soon. But not the end of the world.

One thing these days for backups is just buy another hard drive and keep it off site. When our tape drive at work died I did just that for a few weeks.

im not sure if this replaces files but if you do the old 'msconfig' in the run box then go to system recovery and recover to an earlier date, you could get them back - or this could just be me talking crap
