Data Recovery from Linux
Linux (pronounced LIH-nuks) is an operating system for computers, comparable to Windows or Mac OS X. It was originally created starting in 1991 by Finnish programmer Linus (pronounced LEE-nus) Torvalds with the assistance of developers from around the globe. Linux resembles UNIX, an earlier operating system, but unlike UNIX, Linux is both Free Software and open source software -- that is, you can not only download and run it on your computer, but also download all the source code the programmers created to build the operating system. You can then modify or extend the code to meet your needs.
Linux is a Unix-like multitasking, multiuser 32 and 64 bit operating system for a variety of hardware platforms. First created in October 1991, Linux has since evolved into many different forms thanks to the fact that the Linux kernel and practically all software written for it are open source and constantly being updated and added to by people across the globe.
Data Recovery from Linux: CompuRecovery is to recover data from all types of Linux systems, from the large established brands down to home made versions, from high end servers to laptops. The most important information for the purposes of most recoveries is the file system, CompuRecovery can recover from all of the GNU file systems popular at the moment:
- Ext2FS
- Ext3
- Reiser
- IBM JFS (Journal File System)
- XFS
If you are not sure about your file system then your operating system is usually enough for us to understand exactly what is going on underneath, these can include (but are by no means limited to):
- SuSE, Novell\SuSE
- Red Hat
- Debian
- Mandrake
- Gentoo
- Ubuntu
In most cases CompuRecovery can recover data from homemade versions of Linux, or practically anything running the Linux kernel.
- Removed by virus attack, power failure or system crash;
- After the partition with the files was reformatted, even for different file system;
- When the partition structure on a disk was changed or damaged. In this case,
- This is especially useful when new bad sectors are constantly appearing on the disk, and remaining information must be immediately saved.
- Recovers files on damaged or deleted partitions.
- Support for known file types. CompuRecovery searches for files with known typical features of their structures allowing the user to search for files on devices with unknown files systems, including an HDD, CD, DVD, floppy disk, Compact Flash Card, USB drive, ZIP drive, Memory Sticks, and other removable media.
- Scan process visualization. While scanning an object, R-Linux graphically shows items that have been found.
- A hexadecimal disk and file editor.
- Patterns (or templates) in the hexadecimal editor allowing for parsing the data according to specific data structure. Such patterns may be custom-created.
- GPT and APM partition layout schema support.
