Why? Because you accidentally deleted something you didn't mean to, I assume. How? Restore from backup. Unless you were already running a "safe delete" program (I have a simple one you can use if you want but I'm sure that there are some more robust ones that live in ports), there's no really reliable way to recover deleted files. There are programs that try, but if you want to use them, you MUST turn off the system where the files need to be recovered IMMEDIATELY and use *another* system to do the disk recovery, preferably by physically moving the disk to the other system, but there are other ways. You can also pay a commercial service to recover the data, but expect to pay in the four figures for this service . . . . Best advice is to back up frequently! | | tks. | | | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org | with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- Brian T.
