RECOVERING REMOVED FILES AND DIRECTORIES IN A FILESYSTEM

If a file is Deleted from the system, the filesytem blocks composing
that file still exist, but are no longer allocated. As long as no new
files are created or existing files extended within the same filesystem,
the blocks will remain untouched. It is possible to reallocate the
blocks to the previous file using the "fsdb" command (filesystem debugger).


MAKE A BACKUP OF THE ENTIRE FILESYSTEM BEFORE PERFORMING THESE STEPS!!!
ELSE ( BANG !!!!! ).

It is possible to send a mail for have some informations ...
