HELP!!! Folder recovery?

I'm sorry if this has been gone over (and I'm sure it has ... )

One of our folders was deleted from the server. We don't know how or when. But we lost a LOT of work! I work in production at a small weekly paper, and today we go to press!

Is there ANY way to recover the files from the end of the day yesterday? Nobody here knows where backup files (if there are any) might be stored.

Does it work after the fact?

I just heard that someone is bringing in a recovery program, but i don't know when or what.

I do not know how the whole folder got deleted. It isn't in anyone's trash folder. Everyone here is mystified.

Good, then File Salvage should work perfectly for you.

Before you replied I had read about a Prosoft recovery program in another thread on this forum, and we downloaded that ... is this FileSalvage better?

I've heard good reviews about both, you can choose either one.
