Hello, Does anyone know how to recover deleted files ? Our site has a VAX 750, running version 4.2. A user deleted all of his files on a RA60 removable diskpack. The directory structure is still in place and the disk hasn't been written to since the deletion. Can the INDEXF.SYS file be modified to recover these files? There was no backup of the disk. Thanks for any suggestions, Tom Duggan BBN Laboratories (tduggan@wash-vax.bbn.com)

yes, if NO operations after the delete, and the pack wasn't set to do erase after delete (wasn't in 2.4 was it??)....but I STRONGLY recommend you finding a consultant to do - it is somewhat tricky and you could lose EVERYTHING if they screw up.... (and yes I do know some good ones, and no i am not one [but know for rsx....]) -ed cetron u of u
