Recover Deleted Files

[eknee1417]

Anyone have any experience on recovering deleted files from unRAID?  Recently deleted A TON of .nfo files from my folders and I am now regretting it.  Wondering if there is some sort of trash can on the array that can be restored or a way to find the files I deleted.

 

Just curious to see if its possible.  If not I'll live with my regret

not possible that I'm aware of but you could setup a Recycle Bin for when you delete (except if you deleted from within unRaid via a telnet connection)

I can't find the reference, but this came up in the forums awhile back.

Nobody held out much hope.

 

I did find these ideas:

• http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/ReiserFS_File_Undelete_HOWTO
  

and a couple of tools that might work.

(not an endorsement...in the end, I decided my files weren't worth it)

 

After I did something similar I went searching for a 'trash can' like capability similar to that in Mac / Windows.

You might search on 'vfs_recycle'. Its a plug for unRAID that provides a 'recycle bin'.
