[olug] forensic data recovery

[Hurley Rod]

Funny part is he is a computer engineering student, and was not taught about redundancy and backups.

Does anyone on this list do data recovery?

I had a friend, new to linux but a computer engineering student, working on a linux laptop to set up sharing capability with a desktop.  In the process, everything in the /home directory on the laptop seems to have disappeared.  The last backup was about three weeks ago so it would be nice to recover the missing files (although I can reconstruct most of them).

I'm not sure if it was something my friend inadvertently did or if some malware struck.

Contact me off list if interested.  I'm a hobbyist, so I probably can't afford corporate rates for this service.

Jack
