RecoverPy searches through every block of your partition to find your request. You can already find plenty of solutions to recover deleted files, but it can be a hassle to recover overwritten files.
RecoverPy is currently only available on Linux systems.
Mandatory: To list and search through your partitions, recoverpy uses grep
, dd
, and lsblk
commands.
Optional: To display real time grep progress, you can install progress
.
To install all dependencies:
apt install grep coreutils util-linux progress
pacman -S grep coreutils util-linux progress
dnf install grep coreutils util-linux progress
python3 -m pip install recoverpy
python3 -m recoverpy
If you are not logged as root use sudo recoverpy
or log in with su -
before execution.
Select the system partition in which your file was. If you are out of luck, you can alternatively search in your home partition, maybe your IDE, text editor, etc. made a backup at some point.
Type a text string to search. See tips below for better results.
Note that searching a string in a whole partition may take a while. (see euphemism)
Default save path is /tmp/
, click on Settings to edit configuration.
Start search, Results will appear in the left-hand box.
Select a result to display the corresponding partition block content in the right-hand box.
Once you have found your precious, select Save
.
You can now either save this block individually or explore neighboring blocks for the remaining parts of the file. You could then save it all in one file.
