[X4U] file recovery software

[Brett Conlon/HU/Music-AU/SONY]

I wrote a response but the server rejected it (the company recently 
changed our email addresses)...

What I said was, if your friend wants to protect against accidentally 
trashing needed files in the future, you might recommend to her, Tech Tool 
Pro. It caches trashed files into a hidden directory. The cache size is 
determined by the user, as is the length of time files can remain in 
there. If a file needs "undeleting" it is simply moved from the hidden 
cache back out into a visible folder. This ensures 100% receoverability of 
the undeleted files (as long as they are still there in the cache of 
course).

stroller and randy, thank you for your advice.

i don't think my friends data was THAT valuable (but then again i 
don't know for sure, she's in new york and i'm in zürich!) so she'll 
stick to a software solution.

…and yes, backing up your data is the best solution!
