Failed archive of Outlook folder to Zip and lost file. Help!

[Dean Miller]

I archived Outlook Inbox folder to Zip drive and received
error stating "not enough disk space" to complete archive.
I deleted the archive file off the Zip disk and when I
went back to Outlook I quickly discovered that most of my
Inbox subdirectories were empty. I know I can't recover
data from Zip, according to the Iomega team, but is there
any way I can go back to a snap-shot of my data and
restore the information? Or am I hosed? Please advise.
Thanks.

Nothing to do with the operating system. Ask in an OE or Outlook group which
ever the case.

You could try using GOBACK, is a life saver!! It allows
you to 'go back" to any time you want, hence before you
archived....

IF you made a "snapshot" of your data then yes,you could do that. On the
other hand if you have not made any such snapshot, well then as you put
it ,"you are hosed"
