Data Recovery: professionals familiar with ext3

[Fred Smith]

Erland,

You could try Helix from;

 http://www.e-fense.com/helix/contents.php

It's a free Computer Forensic Tool.  If you know what you are after ie Documents, Photographs you should be able to recover them using a file signature search using some of the tools on it.  i'd suggest Autopsy, scalpel or foremost maybe what you need.

You will need another medium to carve the files out to though.

I recently had a major problem on my external hard drive - something
to do with a corrupt journal I think. Anyway, after asking people on
the ubuntu IRC channel, it appears that I need to go to a commercial
data recovery service. I have tried a few things myself without
success - mainly because I don't have another external hard drive that
can hold an entire image of the drive. Therefore gddrescue etc doesn't
work. Can anyone tell me who (in Sydney) could do data recovery on an
ext3 filesystem. The data is super critical to me, so I want to make
sure whoever handles it really knows what they're doing.
Thanks,
Erland.
