Deleted Files

[Gustavo Souza Lima]

Are there any way to undelete a file on HPUX??
A command or a software that does it.

Thank you since now..

No, not really. There is a rather complicated procedure for attempting to reconstruct the inodes back into the semblance of the deleted file, but it only works if there have been no other changes that might have affected those inodes.

Your best bet is a restore from backup.

Hi:

Essentially no.

I say essentially, because if you had an absolutely quiet filesystem from the moment of deletion onward, you could attempt to recover the information with 'fsdb' --- if you *really* know what you are doing [...and no, I have never tried].
