Deleted files by accident.

[LoJACK]

I someone please tell me how to un-delete files that I've deleted by accident. I have a Samba server running on Linux RedHat and I browsing the files using Windows 2000 and I accidently deleted some files. Is there anyway to recover the files? Is there a program that will un-delete the files?

thank you,
LoJACK

You can try the 'debugfs' command.

Read the man page! This is definitely a dangerous utility.

Here is a link to a page that might help as well

If its life and death you can use the coroner tool kit to recover data if it has not been overwritten (which is unlikely if its a big disk).

See:

for more information.

Good Luck

Maybe try restoring those lost files from your backup.
You do have backups, right ?

I have backups but the thing is... here is the good part,
the files where deleted and then everything was backup into the tape... so by the time that i realized that the files were missing the current drive image was backup into the tape already. So i have a backup of the current drive without the deleted files.

Use an older backup. Or do you only ever backup to one tape?
