Data recovery tools.

Forum thread started by Earl Colby Pottinger on Sat, 2010-10-30 03:40

I 'dd' an image to the wrong drive and lost access to all the on a 149GB drive.

When I tried BFS-Tools it failed. I am asking if anyone else knows of any other recovery tools for Haiku. Or does this mean I need to write my own files scanning software?

Was the drive also bfs? If it was fat32 or ntfs previously you could try windows or linux program to recover. Or linux program for linux partition.

This question is better asked on the general mailing list.

Axel wrote a recovery tool but not sure where to get it. I do not see it in Haiku. Look through this interview for details:
