One of my client project accidentally deleted and this project was on my aws ec2 instance.I used command "sudo rm -rf /home/ubuntu/project" now that folder is removed and i need to recover it asap. I used testdisk and by advanced method it is showing list of deleted folders but the files are not there in that folders and i am getting an error "No file found, filesystem may be damaged", i thought i can use fsck command but need to umount disk /dev/xvda1 but this is the only partition i have in which OS is running , so whenever i use fsck i got error "disk is mounted and aborting" then i tried umount but it is giving error of "target is busy". i also tried photorec may be it recovered the files but it was unsorted and i was not able to identify the deleted files. Then I tried foremost, it is also giving the same format as photorec. please help me with this issue.

  • Which type of file system have you used for home directories? (ext4/ext3/ext2/…) Use `df -HT` to check it. – AnFi Mar 29 '20 at 07:20
  • If you use ext file system then check https://askubuntu.com/a/317955/141639 – AnFi Mar 29 '20 at 07:26
  • DONT RUN FSCK or anything on unmounted disk until you have done a bit copy of the disk. – davidgo Mar 29 '20 at 08:53
  • @AnFi i tried extundelete and it is giving error "Loading filesystem metadata ... 800 groups loaded. Loading journal descriptors ... Segmentation fault" – Avidhnya Pogade Mar 29 '20 at 13:41
  • Today, March 31, happens to be the [World Backup Day](https://twitter.com/worldbackupday). It's time to configure automated backups for all your important projects! There should be backups for all scenarios including hardware failures and human errors. Restoring files using any undelete solutions always takes more resources, interrupts the whole server, and possibly leads to only partial recovery. It's no replacement for regular backups. – Esa Jokinen Mar 31 '20 at 09:13
