Recover a mistaken swap-formated USB-HD
Hi!
Installing the debian wheezy by netinstall my external USB-HD (2TB) is erroneously completly formated as swap-filesystem. I was to lazy to disconnect the USB-HD, so now i could kick myself .
Is there any chance to rescue the data. I tried to find a way by using
gparted: the whole HD is swap-fs. I only check with gparted, i didn't do any format-action.
and
testdisk. analyze and deeper search
both only see swap-fs and testdisk cant find anything.
I need a helping hint, because i need urgently some of the primary stored backup-data.
thanks in advance

xdbeswapbuffers
XdbeSwapBuffers(3X11) X FUNCTIONS XdbeSwapBuffers(3X11)
NAME
XdbeSwapBuffers - swaps front and back DBE buffers.
SYNOPSIS
#include <X11/extensions/Xdbe.h>
Status XdbeSwapBuffers(
Display *dpy,
XdbeSwapInfo *swap_info,
int num_windows)
DESCRIPTION
This function swaps the front and back buffers for a list of windows. The argument num_windows specifies how many windows are to have
their buffers swapped; it is the number of elements in the swap_info array. The argument swap_info specifies the information needed per
window to do the swap.
The XdbeSwapInfo structure has the following fields:
Window swap_window
XdbeSwapAction swap_action
swap_window specifies the window for which to swap buffers. swap_action specifies the swap action to use for this swap_window.
swap_action determines what will happen to the new back buffer of the swap_window it is paired with in the list in addition to making the
old back buffer become visible. The defined actions are as follows:
XdbeUndefined
The contents of the new back buffer become undefined. This may be the most efficient action since it allows the implementation to
discard the contents of the buffer if it needs to.
XdbeBackground
The unobscured region of the new back buffer will be tiled with the window background. The background action allows devices to use
a fast clear capability during a swap.
XdbeUntouched
The unobscured region of the new back buffer will be unmodified by the swap.
XdbeCopied
The unobscured region of the new back buffer will be the contents of the old back buffer
ERRORS
BadMatch
A non-double-buffered window was specified or a window was specified twice.
BadWindow
An invalid window was specified.
BadValue
An invalid swap action was specified.
