Greetings list,
I have a volume with data on it that I need to recover (using
bextract). The volume has been relabeled since it was last written -
consequently, Bacula reports that the volume has no Jobs on it (per bls).
Is there any way to recover the data on this volume?
That depends on what kind of volume it is.
DVD/CD-RW - this might be a case for a profession data recovery company.
File (disk based) - you might be succesful with immediately unmounting
or mounting read-only the partition and trying tools like debugfs. The
data might still be on disk, i.e. not overwritten, but dinding it in the
file systems structure might be difficult.
Tape - you could try to rewind, write a bacula label, some blocks of
empty data and no EOF. The trick would be to overwrite the existing
EOF/EOT marks and thus allow your tape drive to read to where there
still is the old bacula data. You would surely loose some data from the
beginning of the volume, and perhaps you would need a hand-crafted
version of bextract, but it should be possible. Depending on the type of
tape, by the way.
