The files were from our PeerSync backup program. &nbsp;I ended up using a mass file renamer, and changing all the extensions, then opening each item individually to see if they were corrupt. &nbsp;We recovered roughly 90%. &nbsp;Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the 'accept', btw ;^)<br />

We have an emergency situation at work. &nbsp;We had some mass file deletions of some really important files. &nbsp;I scanned the backup drive with some different &quot;undelete&quot; programs, and I see all the files there. &nbsp;The problem is they are all tagged with ~pstmp at the end. &nbsp;For instance - Q4_Sales_Goals.xls.~pstmp &nbsp; &nbsp; This is the same for all types of documents. &nbsp; I tried just changing the extension, but the file still wont open.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?

We have an emergency situation at work.  We had some mass file deletions of some really important files.  I scanned the backup drive with some different "undelete" programs, and I see all the files there.  The problem is they are all tagged with ~pstmp at the end.  For instance - Q4_Sales_Goals.xls.~pstmp     This is the same for all types of documents.   I tried just changing the extension, but the file still wont open.

Any ideas?

Recovered Deleted files - files now have ~pstmp extension

Disaster Recovery is the planning for and creation of policies and procedures related to the resumption or continuation of an organization's functions following a catastrophic event. The term is most frequently used in relation to failure of networks, but DR preparations also include other business systems and personnel considerations.

Disaster Recovery

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
