How to recover an overwritten a file by mistake?
Hello,
I have mistakenly saved / overwritten a file. I mean while savinga file I chose another file's name and when the computer asked that the file already exist - do you want to overwrite it? I pressed YES. Is there any way to regain the access to the old file?? Please advise. Thanks, Dinesh |

Was that file on a server with scheduled backups being made?

Nope overwritten is overwritten. That is why it asked you to be sure. If the
file was stored on a network drive you could ask your IT department to restore the file from a backup tape which they should be able to do. You might have to buy them some donuts though. -- HTH...

Thanks Jim.
I thought the same and gave a call to my IT too. Thank you once again. Dinesh "Jim Thomlinson" wrote: Nope overwritten is overwritten. That is why it asked you to be sure.
