are cut files deleted? are cut files restorable?

[kenneth patterson]

i "cut" some files from a local drive and "pasted" them
on a server during a profile change for a user. the files
on the server that were pasted were overwritten. is there
a utility/software program out there to recover cut files
off the local drive? how is the cut procedure in windows
treated? is it like a delete?

Cut is like delete, yes.
Do you have any backups?

.

no backups. i have downloaded several undelete programs
and have not been able to get any of them to discover the
files that were cut. is there one that you know of that
will recover cut files? it was immediate that i knew that
the files were missing and overwritten on the server and
nothing has been written to the local drive on the
workstation since the files were cut.

I'm afraid you're probably out of luck, then. Sorry.
