Answer» Hi,
Is there a way of restoring a file to the previous state before a recent change took place on XP?
For example, i made a .doc file and saved it as test.doc. Then, on the following day, i made some changes to the test.doc and was supposed to save it as test-v1.doc. Instead, by accident, CLICK on save button. So is there a way of retrieving test.doc just like in UNIX where there is a snapshot.
Thank you in advance.System Restore. Just press F1 to LEARN about it.No, Windows does not have Snap-shot ABILITY like unix. But it has volume-shadow COPY. Not that you can use it directly.
I believe that even XP system restore wont help you unless you made a personal snap-shot yourself.
The automated snapshots are for System settings, drivers etc. Not a users personal files.
In other words, you could be stumped for a solution.
Undelete with NTFS undelete tools **might** work.
