I saw a samba addition somewhere that creates a recycle bin like device... I'll look into it.

I looked for file recovery under ext3 before and found specific articles that say ext3 is not recoverable like NTFS. Something about it being too efficient and such. Your best bet is to follow someone else's advice and grep through the raw data. Would it make sense to create 5 minute fast backups with hard links of user folders and deleting those links at the end of a day before the main backup? Would this create a kind of trash can effect?

There are several possible tools for ext2 file systems, including e2undel and recover. The file manager Midnight commander has undelete capabilities as well. -- Jim Crumley |Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List (TCLUG) crumley at fields.space.umn.edu |Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Ruthless Debian Zealot |http://www.mn-linux.org/ Never laugh at live dragons |Dmitry's free,Jon's next? http://faircopyright.org _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
