How do I recover deleted files on Novell?

Novell provides a very nice utility which will let you recover deleted files if you accidentally delete them. Login to Novell on any Windows PC and browse to the Novell directory where you delted the file. Right click on the folder that used to contain the file and select 'Salvage Files...' You will be presented with a window similar to the one below.

Wait a few moments for Novell to search for files you've recently deleted. You may also see multiple versions of a file - when you overwrite a file, you are in effect deleting the old version and putting the new version in its place. So Novell can even recover older versions of a file you've already overwritten. Use the scrollbar at the bottom to look at all the available data to try and decide which version of a file to recover if more than one exists. Then highlight the file and click 'Salvage'
