Emergency UNIX and Linux Support

regarding to this issue...
isn't it possible to get the folder with contents back if nothin overwrote the area?
I mean with help of the vector table this could maybe be undone. I know no simple commands, but there are some purchaseable software solutions to to this.
Maybe also simple commands exists and an expert knows this?

Would you consider a filesystem capable of arbitrary undeletion secure? There's no general purpose UNIX undelete and there really couldn't be. Hopefully his sysadmin has backups.

come on... why you write such things?

just searched with google and directly found a lot of information about this topic.
Unfortunately it's not allowed for me to post URLs (below 5 posts) - but i assume you know how to use google. (if not - search words for me were "unix get deleted file" - i took 3rd from top)

There is for example Midnight Commander mentioned.
It's GNU (free) software, which runs on UNIX OS.
so it's possible to get deleted files back by knownleadge of last date used/created...
It's just not that easy as it is with windows OS.

if you still need to get it back and it's important you may look for GNU free licensed program:
"midnightcommander"

can sometimes undelete files

Mostly because it's true:People looking for mc undelete tend to get suggested the "recover" utility suite instead but only if they have ext2/ext3 partitions which, again, are becoming rarer these days. We know nothing about his filesystem, in this ignorance anything we can suggest has very good odds of not helping or making things worse. Hence there's no general-purpose solution. We need more information to help.

yeah I admit... it looks like it was not that important, because he does not reply...

I just knew that there were some ways/changes to get files back - not only on windows systems, but also on Unix. Just wanted to help and asked for more knownledged people bacause they may have clear solutions. The questions is frequently asked

So the program I mentioned is not that often usable but may help if you are lucky.

You have to be very careful giving advice about data recovery because bad advice can make the problem worse.
