Hi everyone!
THIS IS THE DETAILS OF MY PROBLEM:::
First: I have created a profile of mirror type with deleting files and folders available in the destination and not available in source via a file-backup program(syncBackFree).
Second: I have chose the source and destination of the mirror bakcup.
The destination was an external HD, whose litter was H:
The source was a partition on my internal HD.
Third: I have synchronised the mirror profile.
Fourth: The next day, I have not stuck my external hard disk which I have determined as destination via SyncBackFree program. However, I have stuck another external hard disk of mine, which has an used space of about 956GB .
Fifth: When the synchronisation time of mirror comes, the SynBackFree program have checked the destination which is defined in its database as (H:) and as long as my external HD(as I said) has taken the litter (H:) because it was the next litter, then the program deleted all this data and copied the files and folders from the source to hard disk.
Finally: all my previous data has accidentally been deleted by program because I said I have accidentally stuck my other external which has a lot of data.
-----------------------------------
I was shocked when I saw this because as I said that I didn't realised this until I saw my used space of my hard has decreased because SyncBackupFree program didn't notify me when doing a synchronised mirror backup .
Anyway, I have tried recovering my data deleted by using some programs:
1- the Power Data Recovery program with its three ways available:
With Undelete Recovery
With advance scan Recovery
With Deep Scan Recovery
However, all of them didn't get back all my data deleted, although the time taken was about ten and half hours
The Deep Scan Recovery showed me this listed after doing full scan as the two screenshots below:
As you see the result of Deep Scan Recovery doesn't sound like my folder and files organization deleted at all. So even I have saved those files, I will not get back my organization.
Although the result of advance Recovery and Undelete Recovery below sound like the organization which was for my folders and files deleted, I didn't find all data returned back. Because when I opened some folders in the result, for instance Macrium Image, I didn't find all files which were inside the folder as they were before deletion.
Even when I have ticked the box in front the parent folder in result, I didn't see that size of the selected files(screenshot below) like the used space of HD deleted which was about 915GB. 'About 415GB is still missed'
2- Testscan program, but it didn't find my data at all.
3- I have tried Partition Recovery Wizard with quick scan and full scan, which took about 14 hours. However, it didn't found my previous data deleted. Instead of that, it found the existing data.
A a result, I really have decided that all recovery data programs are absolute nonsense.
In fact, my external hard drive had so wide variety of files and folders that I didn't remember them. I need a program to return back all my data deleted as it was in my HD with the same organization(Folders, subfolders, files) archived in the central repository on my hard disk.
This screenshot below shows the organization of folders, subfolders and files inside my deleted hard disk as I have organized . In each folder, there are many other sub folders and files.
NB: The most Files, in particular those whose sizes are larger than 5GB were Detected in the result.
So Macrium images weren't shown in the result.
I really have been told by somebody that:
Bear in mind that by default, the program will display to you what its
intentions are before performing any file processes, unless you
configure it to run in such a way that this display of intentions is
suppressed, which is your choice and at your risk.
So I really would like to add something else about you said below:
I really didn't see such settings(notify me when a synchronized mirror will be ran) to be configured.
I really configured my profile to delete data on that side (disk) that is
not on the 'other side. Also, when I synchronised the mirror profile, I
have configured it to be run even the user is logged out.
As I said
before when I have accidentally plugged my external hard disk full of
data instead of the one empty I have decided to be the destination of
mirror, I wasn't notified by the program that time of synchronised
mirror comes. However, when I saw the used space of my hard drive began
decreasing, I have realised that the mirror began and because my drive
assigned with the letter defined in the database of SyncBack program as
its destination, and quickly shout of my computer to prevent the process
from completion. It is true the process has been interrupted. However,
it caused some data deleted.
After that, when I run my computer a gain
I have deleted all SyncBack profiles created while logging in to a
Windows user account. However, there were other synchronised SyncBack
mirror profiles created while logging in to another Windows user
account. So after a little while, I found the synchronised mirror
profile configured while logging in to another Windows user account
began running, so this time it completed deleting the rest of my data
and then copied the the files of source without realising this because
the used space of hard drive has already decreased with running the
first mirror profile.
By the way, Data Recovery programs detected some of my files; however, those, in particular, whose sizes are larger than 5GB were not detected at all. Also, I would like a program to recover all my data with same orginazation. I don't want to collect them again after recovering them. For instance, If you have a look at this picture attached, you will see that there are some partitions detected I didn't know for what.
I am awaiting your reply in due course
) and we haven't actually tested any of our software in that environment. We are going to look into this (once we get the appropriate 'certified' hardware), but I understand from the dev dept there might be quite a few stumbling blocks (for example, I gather there are signs after a quick Google that a lot of silent folder re-direction goes on). Plus, our NI version is designed to install on a 'dumb' ext device, whereby the OS is on the actual PC it plugs into,
