File Salvage, when it recovers a file does it write over the original?

    Could have phrased that wrong.

    Ok, deleted 14 gig of music, don't ask how. I got my hands on a copy of File Salvage, wasnt sure of how it worked, i got back a load of files, but realised too late that my destination drive was too small to take the full recovery, and most of the fiels werent fully recovered (i mean individual files that should have been 3 meg may only have been 1 meg for example) so, I stopped the process.

    now, problem is, file salvage renames all recovered files, so i wont know if i got all the files. again, its 14 gigs of unnamed music files. its a sea of numbers.


    my question: does file salvage leave the original binned file untouched on the main hdd?

    so that my second recovery attempt collects the same files as the first time? or have they been moved from the drive and now i've lost loads of music? (i had to blank the destination drive)


    (its a mac program, thats why i posted in this section)

    It is not a big problem for Mac recovery software which I had used last time when I got such type of problem in my Mac OS. You can trust on this software as it has recovered my data fully. I would suggest you to use this software and get free of your worries as this powerful tool can recover all file versions of Mac OS X including Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5. And offers support for FAT, HFS, HFS+, HFSX and HFS Wrapper file systems based hard drive volumes of Mac operating system.
