Recover programs

 

Hello all,


I had an accident with one of my backups, and I lost a lot of programs in those disk. Is there any chance I can get them directly from the processor actually those programs are running?


Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.
 

Only if you were putting the archive on the processor.


It's a setting in Simpl that needs to be enabled to auto archive the program to the processor when you load a program.

Sorry for your loss!
 

If you have "Create archive and embed into compiled program" set in SIMPL, then you can for 3 and 4 series. It will be on the processor in the App** dir as a zip file.

If that's not set, there's now way to recover it from the processor.
 

Not unless it¡¯s stored on the processor if it¡¯s only the compiled files then your out of luck. Check the files using the file viewer in Toolbox.?

Maybe. If the programs are for 3 (and maybe 4, never looked) series you can recover the .lpz program from the processor. Then, if you're really lucky, when you compiled it you had simpl set to add the program's archived zip to the .lpz at compile time. At that point you can open the recovered .lpz with 7-Zip and extract the archive and you're back in business.
 

I'm not sure what you mean by an accident.? Did you delete them, or did you run the drive over with a car?? There are free undelete programs out there and other services.? Is this a mechanical drive that won't spin up?? Put it in the freezer for a few hours, I've done that many times and recovered gigabytes of data.? There are lots of methods, depending on the scenario.? Recuva and PhotoRec are good tools.? PhotoRec will work on corrupted drives.??
