How to recover data from files with .upload.temp extensions

A user at my company recently crashed his hard drive. When I tried to do a restore from the Desktop Laptop Option (DLO) i did not seen any files to restore. When I checked his storage area on the server I could see files, some 100MB or biggger but they all had .upoad.tmp extensions. Is there a way to turn these into normal readable data files?

  • These files are temporary ones which are created when a backup fails. The storage area would contain actual files if the backups were successful.

  • There are no other files in the storage area only the .upload.tmp. Any idea how to turn these tmp files into actual readable files?

  • There is no way... these files are temporary & do not contain any data.

  • There are numerous files, all look similar to this format, and I can't readt them.
