Norton GoBack

[Guest]

Can Norton GoBack be used to recover data or files that have been
accidentally deleted and emptied from the recycle bin?

 

[Richard Urban]

It sure can, if GoBack was installed prior to emptying the recycle bin.

Hmm.. I see your mistake.

The microsoft.public.windowsxp.general newsgroup and a question about Norton
GoBack.
Similar? Maybe - but not really. heh

Norton GoBack is not a Microsoft product. It does run on Windows XP - and I
suppose this could be considered a "general" question, albeit I like to
consider the name of the newsgroup as a whole..

microsoft.public.windowsxp.general = a place to ask general questions about
the Microsoft product known as Windows XP.

I think what you are looking for can be found here:

Assuming you have Norton GoBack 2005 (v4.0):
http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/home_homeoffice/products/ngb/ngb_2005/manuals.html

However the product features page indicated you should be able to do what
you are asking:
http://www.symantec.com/home_homeoffice/products/features.jsp?pcid=br&pvid=ngb40

"Allows you to restore just the files or folders you need, or an entire
drive."

Thanks, Richard.

I thought that's how it worked - goback must be installed before you empty
the recycle bin.

Please forgive the transgression, Shenan and thanks for the link.

It's just that I had assumed that the System Restore would recover
everything, but I was mistaken and found out too late. Previously, I had had
problems with the Norton Live update interfering with the Windows XP
functions and I thought it was ok to ask if other Windows users had similar
experiences.

Hi,

If the file deletions (from the recycle bin) was recent, and the files
have not been overwritten, then "Restoration" will work well.

Restoration - file undelete utility:

I thought Norton GoBack was used to install Win3.1 on one system.

When Microsoft stops treating its customers as thieves, I might consider
running Windoze again. Of course, I wouldn't allow it to access the
Internet. Windoze has no place on the Internet.
