Hi

Has anyone got any experience of undeleting files in Linux ? Supposedly, 
it can't be done in EXT3, but this post 
http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and the script he 
wrote to support this appear to claim that you can ..

 and forums here

I have an Acronis  disk image about 10 mins after I deleted some Virtual 
Box snapshots that appear to have been deleted other bits it should 
have, so wondering if I can restore my image, then use this script ....

Fingers crossed

Julian

PS of course Btrfs promises all this an more ...
