Unsave or get a previously saved file - HELP PLEASE!
I saved a file with the wrong name (over an another file) and lost the old
files data (yesterday). Is there any way to go back and find the old file (the data before I saved over it). My o/s -pc has an auto-recovery feature. If I reboot into yesterdays date, email myself the previous file would I be able to reboot back into todays date and open the email? Thanks for any help (as long as the answer isn't that I am screwed). |

Or if I can somehow open the file from a previous date. Thanks.

Nope, you've wiped that particular file out. Did you email someone a
copy of the other file? Do you have a backup copy of the file? Do you have IT support for your network? hedge15 wrote: I saved a file with the wrong name (over an another file) and lost the old files data (yesterday).

Thanks for any help (as long as the answer isn't that I am screwed). If you are using Vista you might be able to retrieve a "shadow copy" of the old file. Of course, I never remember this when /I/ do something like you did (^: |

No, no and of course no. I was hoping I could boot the system back a week or
two and it would revert the file as well as the o/s. I guess not. Thanks for all your responses. "Bob I" wrote: Nope, you've wiped that particular file out.

Sorry, but it sounds like you are referring to System Restore, but that
does not involve changing the date nor does it affect data files. It merely takes a snapshot of system files and settings at a particular place in time and saves it. The data file analogy is called "backing up" and involves saving a copy of files that can't be easily reproduced. hedge15 wrote: No, no and of course no.
