Unhappy Need file definition

I am currently study for my A level and i store all of my work on a memory which up til now i have had no problems with. I know that i should of taken a backup of the file but i didn't (which im not regretting) . I have recovered all of my files except one. The software i used to recover all of the other file can not find this one file. This one file is a .vol file created by QDSsecurity toolkit. It is an encrypted file and i know the size of it. The software i am using is talking about a file definition, which i can not fin anywhere on thier website or on there internet.

Below is a section out of the softwares help manual explaining the file definitions:-

Quote:
GetDataBack is able to recover files even when all ttheir directory information is lost. This is possible on condition that the program can recognize those files by their file signature and file extension.

GetDataBack already can recognize a couple of file types, such as DOC-files, BMP-files, RIFF-files, ZIP-files, Help-files.

If you need to recover a lost file with a different file format, define the file format in the GDB.INI file. The location of the GDB.INI is stated in Help->Version Info.

Go to the LostFiles section of the GDB.INI and enter the file parameters in the following order (separated by comma):

Name of the file (free choice)
File extension
File signature length (between 2 and 8 bytes length)
File signature (in hex, located at the beginning of the file)
Type (reserved for further enhancement, enter 1)
Size of the file (if this information is not available in the file header, specify a length large enough to cover the size of the files you want to recover)
Example: Help files

Help files start with the signature $3F,$5F,$03,$00.
Found lost Help files will get the extension HLP in the recovery tree
The size will be determined by the double word found at position 12 in the first sector [12,4]

Help-File= HLP,4, $3F,$5F,$03,$00, 1, [12,4]
I know this might be asking alot but do any of you know the file defintion code for the .vol format?
