Subject  : saved over a file with the same name
Feature :  YED100190907d
Dear sirs/ madam,

I am using version 2.2.0 of OpenOffice.org. My problem is :
18 september 2007, around 22:00 I saved by accident a file over another file 
with the same name.
How can I get the data back of the file I saved over?
This is very important, I need this data for the Foundation I work for and for 
my thesis.
saving files to disk is something that your operating system (read
linux/windows/mac) handles. openoffice can only help if you enabled
versions. i.e. you saved once and then used File>Versions... to save
new versions.

how did the brilliant idea of overwriting such important document
come? important.odt ?

hope someone comes with a un-overwrite utility or you better get
started on your thesis soon.

I'm afraid overwritten is just that: overwritten.
Unless you used the 'versions' option that OpenOffice.org gives (File
Versions), which might be useful when you work on your thesis.


This should go without saying but if you work on important documents, especially large important documents, you should always be sure to have a backup copy or backup copies, and you should keep a backup on a separate disk. It is not unheard of to lose a hard drive.

Thanks.
