Comments on Data Recovery From Accidentally Deleted Files or Crashed Drives in Ubuntu

I use Ubuntu10.04 LTS, when read the post, it seems most valuable to me. You explain here about Ubuntu12.04 LTS, I ask a question to you is same procedure can use in my Ubuntu version?

Yes it will be compatible with the all Ubuntu versions

Hi, i am using Linux Mint 16 and a tested this script to recover data from a external hd, and will running normal... I hope that works! thanks for help.

i am new in ubuntu. i cant run your script. i accidentally formatted my harddisk and become one partition instead of two.please help

thank you

Hi, Thanks for the detailed documentation and the script. I was able to recover a list of lost.files.xx using this method. But, I accidentally deleted a folder and not sure of the file names; but wanted to recover the same folder using the same method. After recovery, I see a entire set of folders with names lost.files.xx and a bunch of files on each directory. Suppose, if my directory name was "directory" and wanted to recover with the same folder structure as it was before, is it possible using this method and if yes, please suggest a way to get it? I also searched the entire recovered directory, in my case /root/result/lost.files.xx/, and couldnt find that I wanted. Your suggestions please?

Hi Srijan,

Thanks a lot for this article. I used your method to recover some deleted MP4 videos which I really needed. Your method works great!

This article helped me a lot.

If you're searching for lost files with this script on the same partition as your OS is then you might actually overwrite what you're trying to save with the scripts output...

Protect your lost data by unmounting and (if needed) remount as read only as soon as you realise that the unthinkable has happened.

Hi,

I would have expected to run this in the terminal - but I am not familiar with Ubuntu, so I just want to be sure.

Thanks
