is there any way to undelete files in windows2008?
examples : user andi just deletes job2010.xls in D:\Data\Andi

I don't want to use backup/restore because it will restore all data.
i only need to restory andy's data
anyone knows a way?

I'm not aware of any undelete software for Windows 2008 sorry.

What backup software do you use? If you use something like Symantec BackupExec then you can select just the one file you want to restore, not everything.

i don't use any backup software.
i just wanna know if windows 2008 can handle this kind of problems.
thanks anyway

As far as I know there is no built-in functionality for Windows 2008 to undelete files. You could try some of these though:

A common misconception is that once you delete a file from the Recycling Bin it has been erased forever, and it is no longer present on the Hard Drive. Luckily for you this is not true, you see when you click empty recycle bin, windows does not actually delete the files, Those commands just generally delete a file's name from the directory so it won't show up when the files are listed. But the information itself can live on until it is overwritten by new files. Therefore the file has not actually been deleted, instead the space that it occupied has been freed up and listed as re-use space. Now until that file is overwritten by new data your file is still there and can be retrieved.

Therefore in order to recover deleted files from the recycle bin you must obtain a good Undelete Software, these software's can recover data from almost any data drive like hard disks, USB drives, Zip drives, SD Cards etc.. The software's can also recover data from data cards in digital cameras and cell phones. The good news is that most Undelete Programs offer a Free Download, so you can try out their software at no cost to see if you are able to recover your deleted files from recycle bin.

I have same problem too. And after days of searching and trying to doing all the things but can't solved my problems. I finally found this software: Delete Long Path File Tool. It's GREAT. You can find it and solved your problems.Long Path Tool
