Recovering files from unbootable disk in HPUX 9
First of all, forgive me if I come off as naive. Normally I'm doing day-to-day management of a Server 2008 network, so HP-UX isn't exactly my forte.
We have several HP 715/100 machines running UX 9.x, and recently one of them stopped being able to boot. In the boot menu the disk shows up with search, but you can't boot from it. We've got Ignite tapes for the system, but there are files on the disk that weren't backed up within the last and I desperately need them.
So I slapped the disk in an identical system to see if it would boot there, and no dice. So now in that same system I booted off the original disk with the unbootable disk along side it in hopes that I can mount it and recover what I need. In the Disk and Filesystem Manager, the disk shows up unused, but when I try and mount it it says it doesn't have a file system on it. Am I hosed?
Really regretting only doing monthly backups 'bout now...

It IS possible to "undelete" a file; I suppose recover would be a better term for it. I suppose we've all made the boo-boo (that we all hopefully learned from) of deleting a file, and finding that you do not have a backup. I wouldn't... (1 Reply)

Hello,
I was reading the manual on rm and it states that when you use 'rm' the files are usual recoverable, how is this done?
Does it assume that a backup system is in place?

Hello,
Is there a way to recover data from a SCO UNIXWARE 7.4 operating system without using a tape backup device?
We believe there is some data in some directories that was there once; but not anymore, we don't have a backup on tape.
So, is there any other solution to recover?
