Restore File To Its Location from where it was deleted
Hello,
When I am deleleting some file that time I am moving that file to backup
directory and when I say restore then its showing me the backupdirectory
path and file with index..Ex..if i delete 3 files then restore will shoe me:
:0:/backup/somedeletedfile
:1:/backup/somedeletedfile10
:2:/backup/somedeletedfile20

My concern is if someone will say restore 1...then i want to restore
somedeletedfile20 to its original location i.e. the location from where it is
deleted

Can Nyone please help me.

The old path of the file should be stored somewhere in a file, else, how could you retrieve the original location?
