I hesitate to mention this, but there _may_ be a communication problem here. When American-English speakers refer to data recovery, they usually are discussing reading data from a disk that has suffered some catastrophic event, say a head crash or an inadvertent wholesale data deletion. In either case physical access to the hardware is assumed (and required). Based on what you've said so far, you don't have physical access, the disk (SSD) is operating normally, and you simply want remote read access to the /home directory tree. Is this correct? If the answer is yes, then the discussion will head off in an entirely different direction. Bill -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
