| Data Recovery In Linux : Intelligent Computing |
So
you are in the middle of the situation when you have to use or submit your
document or file and accidently you have deleted completely from your Linux PC,
or something like this. You know that when you were using windows then you can
search and find the plenty of freeware, shareware application that can easily
recover your files. But it’s a tedious job to find the one for your Linux
environment. But remember, your files can be recovered from the location, where
no other files have been saved because probably have overwritten those deleted
file (Means Completely loss). So make sure that deleted file should be
recovered as soon as possible. And try best not to put any single file on that partition;
this will make better chances of file condition.
PhotoRec
is the Free and open source application that allow you to recover the files
from your hard drive, flash drive, Digital camera, CD/DVD ROM. Not only this,
it deeply look into the file detail and can recover your files on the bases of
the file type used, like your Documents, Music, Videos, photos etc.
This
Application is powerful enough that it can work on almost all type of file
system even when the file system is damaged or formatted and this makes the
best data recovery tools for Linux. Let’s get started.
Installing PhotoRec
PhotoRec
can be easily downloaded from the Official site or say passing the following
commands in your Terminal.
Open
the terminal
Type
sudo
apt-get install testdisk
Enter
the password when Prompt.
This
application is not of more size than 700 KB, so it will not take more time even
in your slow connection.
After
it get install now we have to Start the Programme and Start recovering those
files.
Using PhotoRec to Recover deleted files in Linux
Open
the terminal and type Photorec
The
Programme don’t have adorable UI but, you don’t have to use command, you can
simply use keyboard to go on
You
can use the Arrow key to navigate through menus and Enter to select your
choice.
Firstly
Select the Hard Disk from which you have to recover the Data.
(If
you are using the multiple Hard disk then go to system detail of your Linux and
see which HDD you are using, you can easily identify them if you remember its
size). Done? Let’s go ahead
Hit
the Proceed
Now
you will be asked to choose the file system
If
you are having few partition then, you wont have any trouble, but if you are
having lots of partition like i am using (9 Partition) you have to identify
them either by their label or size. Carefully select this step and proceed.
Now
choose the output folder where your files will be saved after recovering, make
sure that you select the different partition for this.
Now
select the Start File Recovery and
sit relax,
After
processing, all your files will be saved to those defined folder. Choose from
those files. Sometime the filename will not be present, in that case you have
to open the files to check and verify.
We
recommend you to better take the backup of the files periodically to avoid such
condition. You can Recover the Deleted files in Windows here
