Please help!  
I had a folder where the FoxPro database file .dbf. Someone have it removed. I don’t know what to do. there were important files. Used the recovery programs GetDataBack for NTFS and Recover My File. 10 percent recovered, and the rest of the characters. How can I recover them?

Not sure this is the best place to ask this question, unfortunately. This place is focused on web development…mostly front-end at that.

The thing is, we see a lot of dbf/sql/mdf-related questions here. How did you find out about this forum? Was it through searching? The only reason I ask is so that we can proactively put up a message helping others in the future with better places to post database-related questions.

Cheers,  
Kirupa 🙂
