Guest TheGame2705 Report post Posted April 11, 2003 I accidentally overwrote a file and it's VERY important. Can ANYONE tell me how to undo just the last overwrite I did after closing the file. Is there any software or any DOS command to undo it. I need help badly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheGame2705 Report post Posted April 11, 2003 Pretty please...I found a prog from Aladdin Systems but it won't download. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ultimo Dugas 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2003 Try going to Backup under System Tools, and tell it to go back before you overwrote that file. It might work. I did it once to get rid of a virus problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MrRant Report post Posted April 11, 2003 If you are talking about something like System Restore in XP then that may work but I doubt it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheGame2705 Report post Posted April 11, 2003 Doesn't it only re-do system changes but keep the files the same? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MrRant Report post Posted April 11, 2003 Pretty much. You can try and roll back a week or so and see if it helps. Won't hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheGame2705 Report post Posted April 11, 2003 Nothing happened. Anyone know anything about Aladdin Flashback or have it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MrRant Report post Posted April 11, 2003 Get Unlimited Undos with Aladdin FlashBack™! It's Simple To Use! FlashBack allows you to recreate any document just as it was when it was saved. Every time you save a FlashBack-protected file, you create a permanent record that you can go back to any time you want. Now your ability to "undo" changes is limited only by how often you save! Save as often as you like without falling victim to "saver's remorse!" Hey, we all make mistakes. FlashBack makes it painless to correct them. Get FlashBack, and save your important work as often as you like without the worry of accidentally saving over something you didn't mean to. Ever have a client who never knows what they want, and then, out of the blue suddenly they do? And it was that version you showed them three months ago? Now you can give it to them, instantly. Because you've got it. Because you've got FlashBack. Sounds like you have to have the program before you overwrite the file unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheGame2705 Report post Posted April 11, 2003 I overwrote a log of all the conversations I've had someone and it's kind of important. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
