Hi All,
Recently by mistake I deleted some useful data. After that I started searching any tool to retrieve my all deleted files. I search various document and tools if any of them recover my files and data. Finally, I find 5 best recovery tool for linux.
They all are OpenSource softwares and licensed under the terms of the GNU Public Licence(GPL).But I prefered “TestDisk & PhotoRec” most,becasue TestDisk can recover lost partitions and also can make non-booting disks bootable again.PhotoRec can recover lost files including video, documents and archives from Hard Disks and CDRom and lost pictures from digital camera memory.PhotoRec can be used on existing partitions, or can be used to recover files on deleted partitions without having to recover the underlying partitions.Both PhotoRec and TestDisk can be run on Linux,DOS, Windows,FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Sun Solaris, and Mac OS X, and, their developers claim, can be compiled and run on most Unix systems.
Data recovery is the process of retrieving data from corrupted or damaged storage media when it cannot be accessed. The storage media in question will often be a hard disk, but it can also be removable media such as CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, and storage tapes. There are many different reasons why a system administrator may need to use data recovery tools.
At boot up, mainstream Linux distributions perform routine scans to identify and fix any inconsistencies in the file system. A damaged file system might be caused by the computer not shutting down in an orderly fashion, which can occur say in the event of a power cut. However, such routine scans will not detect hardware failure which might exist for a long period without being noticeable to users. Accesses to bad sectors on the media can make the situation worse, and with further usage as well as the passage of time, the media can eventually become unreadable.
