Step 6: Select output folder and recovery options
In this page, you can select the output folder for the undeleted files and folders. Moreover, you can set other recovery options here.
•Output undeleted files and folders to. Here you can input the folder which is used to output the undeleted files and folders, or click "..." button to browse and select the output folder.
•Open output folder when finished. If selected, then after the recovery process, the output folder will be opened automatically for you to browse. This option is selected by default.
•Recover directory hierarchy recursively. If selected, then for a deleted folder, we will not only recover it, but also recover all the files and subfolders under it recursively. And the directory hierarchy of all these recovered files and subfolders will be restored as well. This option is selected by default.
•Auto rename files and folders when duplicate exists. When DNTU try to output the recovered file or folder but find one with duplicated name already exists in the output folder, then if this option is selected, then DNTU will rename the recovered file or folder automatically to make sure it will not conflict with the existing one. For example, if the recovered file name is MyFile.xls, but there is already a file named MyFile.xls in the output folder, then DNTU will rename the recovered file MyFile.xls to MyFile(1).xls, if there is already a file named MyFile(1).xls in the output folder again, then DNTU will rename the recovered file to MyFile(2).xls again, and so on, until the recovered file name will never conflict with any existing files in the output folder. If this option is not selected, then whenever a duplicate found, then DNTU will popup a messagebox asking you whether you want to overwrite the existing file/folder with the duplicate name, you have the following options:
a.Select "Yes" button, in that case, DNTU will only overwrite the current file/folder. The next time when a duplicate found, it will popup the messagebox again for your confirmation.
b.Select "Yes to All" button, in that case, DNTU will not only overwrite the current file/folder, but also overwrite all the remaining files/folders automatically when duplicate is found, without popping up the confirmation messagebox anymore.
c.Select "Cancel" button, in that case, DNTU will abort the recovery process immediately, just like you click the "Stop" button.
d.Select "No" button, in that case, DNTU will skip the current file/folder without outputting anything. The next time when a duplicate found, it will popup the messagebox again for your confirmation.
e.Select "No to All" button, in that case, DNTU will skip the current file/folder. Moreover, it will also skip all the remaining files/folders automatically when duplicate is found, without popping up the confirmation messagebox anymore.
•Do not recover duplicate file when it has been recovered in folder recovery process. When "Recover directory hierarchy recursively" option is selected, and you want to recover some files and folders together, the folders will be recovered recursively. It is possible that the folders may already contain some of the files you want to recover. Therefore, to prevent DNTU from output duplicate files, you can select this option. Otherwise, you may get duplicate files in the output directory. This option is selected by default.
After you finish setting the output folder and recovery options, please click "Next" button in the bottom-right corner of the dialog to go to the next step.
Note:
•DNTU will remember the options the last time you set.
•If the output folder you set does not exist, then DNTU will create it for you automatically.
•You must not select an output folder on the same drive where the deleted files are located! Otherwise you will overwrite the data and lose the files forever!
