One of that new crop that is so large you won't have an adequate backup for it... :( So, just wondering if there are any disk recovery tools that might be able to find whats left of the files or some portion thereof. My guess is that things like the indirect blocks live on in the data area and some portion of what was there might be recoverable to a greater or lesser degree... Thanks in advance, Enno.
