• Step 1 : Maximize your recovery chances.

  In order to improve your recovery chances, it is important to take no actions that could worsen the situation. Filesystem on which deletion occurred should not be modified or updated.

• Step 2 : validate which files can be recovered
  • Download the free tool, a small program that lists all recoverable files.

  Select AIX release AIX 7.x AIX 6.1 AIX 5.3 AIX 5.2 AIX 5.1 AIX 4.3
  • The tool analyses in a non-intrusive way what can be recovered : no root privileges required, only read-access to the logical volume.
  • The analyse utility will check every bit and byte on the filesystem and using multiple algorithms to recreate the original files.
  • After completion of analysis, at the command prompt you can check quickly what data can be recovered.
  • Examples of analysing for recoverable files:
    • Example recovery deleted files on a JFS2 filesystem.
    • Example recovery a JFS2 filesystem destroyed by crfs command.

• Step 3 : perform the undelete and recover your files

  When you see files and data that you want to recover, purchase and download the full licensed version, and start immediately with the restoration of your data.
