According to the website of extundelete it does also support ext4. But you can't judge a filesystem by some tools, which claim to do some sort of undeleting, can you? If you loose data on a regular basis that way, you're definitely doing something wrong. Get some sort of automated backup solution and don't delete files you could have a need for in the future ;). Best regards, Karol Babioch +++ The backups accidently are deleted, after that I directly remounted to read only, hence the data shouldn't be lost. Accidents can happen. ASAP I'll learn more about ext4 and I'll try some other tools, but if needed using a disc editor/monitor. This was the only hard accident in around 20 years of using computers. Bad luck for me. If it would have happened for my Atari's SCSI drive, a tool would have been able to recover the deleted data. What I lost were most of my important backups, when I tried to recover a Linux, so indeed, I should have made backups of the backups. Anyway, it was an accident and you should chose a FS that can be recovered. I already used several tools that claim to be able to recover ext4. Google and you'll see that it's a known issue. You can't expect that accidents never will happen. Accidents happen. Cheers! Ralf
