Hello, Please excuse this is not strictly debian or laptop related, but i'm in urgent trouble. I accidently deleted a folder with 3500 files on my laptop, just when i wanted to do a really overdue backup. It's about 5 GB, nearly 3 months of work, and the last backup is a month ago where most of the stuff was added just recently, including hundreds of hours of the working time.
When i realized what happened i shutdown the laptop. The files are in the user's home on the root filesystem, a journaling ext3. debian sid. I was so shocked i didn't look for the exact time, but i think i could boil it down to a 10 minute time frame. I've no experience with file recovery. I would be able to boot into a cd or dvd which i could download and burn on another machine. I'm aware a time based recovery could mean i'd have to reinstall the KDE session and do more cleanup afterward, but that's absolutely unimportant, if i only could recover the files. It would be worth a complete reinstall. Any good idea what i can do ? micha ps. And no, nothing in the trash folder, it was a real delete. pps. And yes, i will never again be lazy with backups. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
