Operating TestDisk software will need some experience as one has to understand the data visible on the screen. One might want to compare it with EaseUS Partition Recovery, but TestDisk lets you do a little more. I said “commands” because TestDisk is entirely based on command-line interface. Then you can initiate the necessary commands to fix the MBR. That way, you can check all the partitions available on the hard disk(s) in case the master boot record is damaged. The best method to use TestDisk is to boot from a DVD and then use a thumb/flash drive to run the TestDisk utility.
This TestDisk review checks how well it fares when coming to fulfilling its claims of recovering data and fixing boot sectors. It needs no installation and can be executed from a pen drive or DVD. Once retrieved, I performed my tests on the recovered scripts and they worked as before.TestDisk is powerful free data recovery software, which was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and make non-booting disks, bootable again. You will find earlier versions of your script too. Upon checking the recovery destination, you will find directories and files (I was interested in *.sh files) as shown below:Īfter performing a few “find and grep” commands looking for my script content, I retrieved the latest version of all my scripts. The image below is a screenshot of the recovery process. Use lsblkto confirm the partition on which your lost files resided and execute sudo photorec (e.g. Photorec is quite straightforward to use and recovers files based on your selected file types into a selected destination. After frantically looking for tools to recover my scripts, I came across TestDisk/PhotoRec and photorec saved my bacon.
My heart sank because I had no backup and hadn’t yet checked in my scripts into git. After spending a few hours on developing some scripts, I hastily fat-fingered a command and removed my entire scripts directory on my RHEL 7 server.
