Re: dbx files are corrrupt after pc freeze during compression.

My DBXpress program will analyze the entire hard drive for messages and might find some of the lost ones. See points 2, 3 and 4 here also: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx for the future.

A few days ago my O.E. started compressing my messages.
At the same time i was opening some other file what made my computer freeze.
At that point i made a very stupid decission and restarted my pc.
Because O.E. was not finishd with compressing my messages, all the dbx files
are now somehow corrupt.

I have allready made an attempt to save the files with different recovery
tools but with no succes.

My final hope and also my question is:
does O.E. make a backup of my dbx files before its starts the comprssion?
And if so, where can i find it.

best regards

.
