Help needed major cock up alert

[Fozzie]

I exported one of my servers to upload and then proceeded to overwrite the export with the next weeks import.

So the file has been overwritten and the jobs have been removed from the queue.

Is there anyway of getting those jobs?

It's 16 completed QM3 jobs so I would do a fair bit of work to try and salvage at least some of them.

:trash: <--- That should help.

Could be he found his Willy1 :bonk:


(if nothing has been written to disk, maybe an undelete of some sort. But under pressure, crunching full time it may be the jobs are toast)

C'mon chaps - constructive suggestions are preferred....

Foz, I have tried this with a small job that did not matter, however, it was on an online queue which does not provide a like for like test. If i remove the "exported" jobs from the queue then the *.log is also deleted from the FAD source along with the *.smi file. The remove command seems to do a lot more in the background than i realised.

Unless results are stored anywhere else I think you may struggle to rescue these...

to my post on the FaD forum looks like it's all lost.

Gutted but it was purely my error so can't cry too much

Didn't say I wasn't gonna cry at all though.

Haven't you tried anything like ontrack, I had to use it once when I formatted the wrong hard drive. I did manage to get a lot of files back after using it.

Hi Fozzie - i didn't know that was your alter-ego over on the fad forum. i've posted over there so i'll not duplicate it ;)

[edit] ignore me - looks like i got the wrong end of the stick :blush:

Easy recovery Pro

ActiveUndelete and others.

I overwrote the file with one of the same name so I really :swear: up

I'm over it now, and will be far more careful after that one.

one word, sums this up nicely.

numpty.

i think the pressure of the inevitable roadkill is getting to him lads :Pokes:

My (BennyRop) comment about Norton's Protected recycle bin - on the FaD forum seems to be pointless for this salvage job; since it's only helpful when installed prior to the accident.
