Recover overwritten RAR file?
I used a password recovery tool which attempts to crack rar files and ran an invalid command. My rar 1GB rar file was then overwritten to 1kb. Is there any possibility of recovering the data?

Re: Recover overwritten RAR file?
You can always try PhotoRec but if the file has really been overwritten, it's not possible.
