Recovery of deleted files in linux
Restoring deleted files in Linux can be quite a difficult task, especially if a complete file deletion was performed or special programs for secure data erasure were used. However, there are several methods and tools that can help recover lost files.
1. Using the "undelete" command: In some Linux distributions, there is an "undelete" utility that allows you to restore accidentally deleted files from the Trash. Just open a terminal and run the following command:
“`
undelete <имя_файла>
“`
2. Using data recovery programs: There are a number of specialized data recovery programs based on Linux, such as TestDisk or PhotoRec. These tools provide an opportunity to scan the hard drive and search for lost files.
3. Backup: If you regularly backed up your data using the system sauvegarde/backup tool or another suitable archiving program (tar/rsync), you can simply unpack the last backup archive.
It is important to remember that the faster you act after deleting the file, the greater the chances of its successful recovery. Therefore, it is recommended to start the recovery process immediately and avoid writing new data to the hard disk until the operation is complete.
It is also worth noting that these methods do not guarantee a 100% result and may be more or less effective depending on the specific situation.
