Which log files are you talking about, and what application controls them?

windows log files that stores deleted data. if not mistaken there are not any application controlling it.. sorry and if i made mistake, i'm still new in this field.

As far as I am aware Windows does not provide this feature.

how about linux.. is there any application that provide this feature

Not that I am aware of, you could try one of the Linux forums.

well you need to observe the way windows writes to those files and then attempt to emulate it.

Good Luck!!

Example mircrsoft word writes to log files when it crashes (in order to preserve the document) in order to recover that document you need first learn in what format it writes them to the log file from there you will be able to go though it and get the data and rebuild the .doc programmaticly.

Good Luck!!
