Data recovery software for ubuntu12/16/2023 ![]() ![]() To clone the SD card of the device we are going to use a tool called ddrescue, which annoyingly is called ‘gddrescue’ in the Ubuntu packages, yet, when you run it is ‘ddrescue’, not ‘gddrescue’. If you are interested, here is a link about my mtp journey, only because I feel I don’t want to waste the time I spent logging it all and perhaps one day it will be useful related info. ![]() The reason for this is that Android apparently uses ‘MTP’ and this was the source of my initial pain. The first interesting thing I encountered is that when I plugged the android device in my ubuntu computer – unlike my Ubuntu Touch mobile device – an Android device ‘mounts’ but doesn’t show up as a usual sdb, sdc, sdd, etc drive in File Manager system. At that time I had wiped all my emails in Thunderbird, and I recall I did successfully get them all back. Anyway, my sister wanted these photos and I like learning so I started to review how to do it from a tutorial I never finished back in 2013. ![]() This would be ideal setup so if you accidentally delete stuff like this the deletion won’t make it to the server and you could backup from that…. But I do know that Nextcloud is awesome and I believe you can set it up for manual backups so it doesn’t happen automatically and you can probably set it up just fine on Android, too. Anyway, I use Ubuntu Touch so I don’t know. Perhaps when you press ‘delete’ on your Android device they delete first from your device then from the google servers as they sync? That’s actually good thing for security reasons and privacy – which is why I doubt it works like that (ha). One would think they would save somewhere in google’s creepy backup network, but seems not so. My sister wiped her photos from her phone (or someone she knows…) and they are gone. Probably you can do all this with Kali, Debian, or other distributions that have the same commands, but I’m ubuntu so ubuntu it will be. You are making the top surface more even, removing scratches as you go.Well, I thought this would be a bit easier than it was but such is life – HARD…May this tutorial save many or all of you lots of time. NOTE: This will not work for discs that has cracks through the optical layers or in the recording substrate. Take it in easy steps, clean the disc after some work and try to read it - eventually, using easy steps of the above, you will get more data out than initially. Use any combination of tools to work on surface similar to how "Buffing" is done on car paint.Find any type of Rubbing compound and place fairly large drops of it on top of the disc surface.Place your disc with the recording surface up on top of 1.Make it be damp, then place it on top of a steady surface ![]() Wettex wiping sponge cloth or similar.Initial advice: read through and practice first, then do the real thing. I still do recommend to try them FIRST as what follows below might destroy your data entirely if you're too rough with it.Ī process to reduce scratches what tools, chemicals and gadgets to use: The fact that the disc (CD or DVD) is physically damaged is likely to impose a limitation on the possible results of the software approach. The other answers concentrate on software I'll add another "layer" to this. If there was any error in the output of second stage ( Unrecoverable bad blocks is not 0) you may run third stage by safecopy -stage3 /dev/cdrom /tmp/mycd.isoįor more information, please read SafeCopy Man Page. The output will be something like this: Low level device calls enabled mode: 2 If there was any error in the output ( Unrecoverable bad blocks is not 0) you may run second stage by safecopy -stage2 /dev/cdrom /tmp/mycd.iso The output of above commands will be something like this: Low level device calls enabled mode: 2įilesize not reported by stat(), trying seek(). I suggest you to use three pre-defined stages as follows (suppose that your CD/DVD device file is /dev/cdrom): safecopy -stage1 /dev/cdrom /tmp/mycd.iso You may install it using sudo apt-get -install safecopy I suggest SafeCopy! It works properly (at least for me) and is very simple to install and use. ![]()
