Re: [Cooker] ext3 undelete tool? Sorry

[Nelson Bartley]

Sorry about that guys,

I guess I was being a little scared... This was the backup that died...
(needed to desperately access it... oh well).

I should know better, I'm usually the person to say go bugger off.

Thanks For the help guys,
NB

You guys are all heart. Even though you are also technically correct.

Nelson, make a copy of the entire partition, somewhere else, right now. It's 
your only hope of recovery. Then use ext2 undelete and rescue tools on the 
partition copy. You might be reduced to scanning the raw partition for your 
email text and hoping it's more or less contiguous.

When you next have a problem like this, please take it to MandrakeUser. Better 
still, back up regularly.

Cheers; Leon

Never heard of restore from your most recent backup?
