*******************
You are a computer user that has deleted by accident some files. You're latest backup is not recent enough and you're wandering if there is a change for recovery.

You are a system administrator and you want to know if one of your user had some unauthorised files stored on your disks, but the user is aware of your research and has deleted these files already and no backups available.

In all these case, you could be interested by the following software you can download for free from this web-site.

Software characteristics :

software will scan all inodes and determs how many 'files' could be recovered.
determs file-type
show first 80 bytes of file
try to determ pathname of file
two executables :
one for V3 filesystems : v3fslist
one for V4.1 filesystems : v41fslist
one for V4.2 filesystems : v42fslist
one for V4.3 filesystems : v43fslist
doesn't need root permission for executing
only requires READ permission to the logical volume you want to 'list'
easy usage 'vxfslist filename' will give you a list of recoverable data
sample output of interactive mode, checking out the files to be recovered on /dev/hd2 :
$ v42fslist -i /dev/hd2
