Undelete files?
Well I was just cleaning up the system of unused files to save up some space and deleted something that i was not supposed to. I'm on RH9, I'm connected via SSH to shell. I used the command "rm myfolder -r"
How can I undelete or retrieve/restore the files and the folder? |
Undelete
So far as I know, there is no 'undelete' program in GNU/Linux. The problem is, once a file has been deleted, other files are likely to have been written to the physical space on the hard drive that the file once occupied. Undelete programs are filesystem-specific and whether or not you get the file back intact is up to chance.

oh boy
I'll see if any of the automatic backups have those files. |
Have a look at

I think i have a backup, it's old but it may have those files. it's a tar.gz file, how do I view the file without extracting it? It's a huge file, takes very long time.

But I'll help u now, use the command: tar -tzf filename.tar.gz to view the filenames. Or use: tar -tvzf filename.tar.gz to view the filenames with "permissions, user/group, size, date, time "information also listed. |
