We have plenty of them. From my unbelievable list of tools for data recovery and regarding that you are trying to recover files from a camera: photorec. It's in the ports collection. For the archives, it's in the sysutils/testdisk port. (Not the first place one would look, I'd say) Nice find, BTW. One for the list of recovery tools indeed. In the same context, magicrescue is worth mentioning. If they all fail, consider using TSK. Note: Do _not_ do ANY writes to the card! Mount it -o ro if needed. Make an 1:1 copy (using dd_rescue from ports), work with that copy. Everything that slips through fat fingers could reduce the chance of a successful recovery session. I know it. ;-) If you took any more pictures with the same card in the camera, it is almost guaranteed that some of the original pictures will not be recoverable because they've been overwritten.

Re: undelete files in msdosfs
I wrote something to do this a long time back, but I doubt I can find the source quickly. The easiest way would be to download a forensic live-CD like DEFT, which includes Undelete 360. Possibly over-kill but it's handy to have one around. Most of these forensic tools use a GUI. There is a program called fatback in the ports collection but I haven't tried it. The tools on these forensic live-CDs are likely to be more powerful by a long way. Regards, Frank.

The easiest way would be to download a forensic live-CD like DEFT, which includes Undelete 360. Possibly over-kill but it's handy to have one around. Most of these forensic tools use a GUI. Or UBCD, if I remember correctly. It also offers some of those tools, usually the text-mode variants (not CLI, but dialog-driven) which allow you to perform the tasks quickly and safely. There is a program called fatback in the ports collection but I haven't tried it. The tools on these forensic live-CDs are likely to be more powerful by a long way. Most of the programs can be used from within FreeBSD. As I said, there are many of those available for free. Some of them require the user to _know_ what he does. The more complex the recovery task is, the more knowledge is involved. GUIs are good to hide this fact, and in worst case, you lose your data. Of course there is no problem delegating the recovery task to a service center for $$$. And sometimes, if you look close enough, you can see that those are using the free tools. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
