Data Recovery is a very costly option that is why you should always check your storage media for any signs of wear and tear.-’*

It is also easy to backup and transfer all your websites from one server to another server if you have cPanel installed;~.

Comment on Dell Laptops Suck by Michael

I have owned a Dell Inspiron 1501 for almost two years, and I am pretty fed up with Dell. About 3-4 months after the purchase, the battery stopped functioning, and the laptop had to be kept plugged into a power source ever since. And just recently, the monitor stopped working. Luckily, Ubuntu is installed on it and I can do my work remotely from my PC. Dell laptop hardware is brittle crap, and I will never buy from Dell again.

Here’s a simpler cmdline for #2. No sub-shell and basename replaces sed command.

$ ls -1 | while read f; do bf=`basename $f .l`; mv “$f” “$bf.feb;” done

My wife’s hard drive was a 40GB 4200RPM 2.5″ laptop disk which I suspect seriously impacted the speed of recovery. I ran gddrescue 24 hours a day for at least 7 days. I ended up using an old Dell PowerEdge server as a dedicated recovery station.

If you have time, try re-running it after the first pass. If given enough time you can often recover all of the data by “filling in the blanks” on a second or third pass.

Hello,

I’m running ddrescue on my sister’s hard-drive based camcorder right now (a 1 year old got ahold of it!).

You mentioned that it took about 7 days. Was that continuous running? How big is the drive you ddrescued?

I’m just trying to gauge how long this might take!

I would recommend building a local image of the entire disk before attempting to restore files. Information is not always stored in logical order, so you can’t just take the first 10GB and expect good results.

One thing to consider is using ‘photorec’ to pull out files based on type (images, video, documents, etc). I still recommend building a complete image before attempting to extract files, but if you are just look to grab a single document — photorec can do that for you.

Goodluck!

Yeah, but instead of restoring an entire disk, how do you go about restoring about 10 GB worth of files?
