Restore and/or export previous file lists

Post by Stryp »

Hi,

I recently lost access to a Shared Drive that was home to a few hundred movies and shows. It was indexed with Everything, but when I type in the drive letter into the search box, only the root folder comes up, nothing else.

Is there any way to see previous versions of this folder (and file) structure or does Everything wipe it all when it loses access?
Strangely, another drive's contents can still be seen despite that drive not being mounted for the same amount of time.

Thanks a ton!

Sorry to hear about the data loss.

If only the root drive letter is showing then Everything has removed this volume as it was offline.
NTFS volumes are automatically removed when offline by default. (can be disabled under Tools -> Options -> NTFS)



If you have an older copy of your Everything.db you can recover the filenames with db2efu.
