The Linux file systems are extremely powerful and they work great, particularly the Ext3 file system. It is an extremely robust and mature file system. The file system remains consistent even after a system crash or unexpected power failure. In such cases, you need not to perform long hard drive checks for repairing the file system. There is no possibility of disk fragmentation and a number of more advanced feature and direct deletion of files is one among them. When you delete a file, it is not moved to trash and you do not encounter any message box. But this feature increases the chances of accidental deletion and require Linux Data Recovery if you remove any significant file.

It happens to almost every Linux user sooner or later, just after pressing the Enter key, you realize the mistake, but it’s so late. You have deleted a critical file from your Linux hard drive for which you do not have backup. Or may be the backup is not updated or damaged. It may create panic situations for most of the users, but you should keep in mind that files are folders are never deleted physically from the hard drive.
After you delete the file or directory, it remains physically intact until it is being overwritten by any other file or directory. Thus, you need to immediately remount the hard drive as read-only. There are various methods of perform Data Recovery Linux automatically or manually. Most of the computer operating systems has some or the other utilities to retrieve deleted files.

In Ext3 file system, you can use Ext3grep utility to retrieve deleted files from the Linux hard drive. It is actually a Linux utility, which is able to retrieve completely deleted files from Ext3 file system volumes. Using this utility is completely safe as it does not overwrite data on the disk.

Although, the Ext3grep is a quite significant and useful utility to recover lost Linux data, but it has some disadvantages as well. This tool can not recover files that are larger than 2 GB in size and can not retrieve files that are deleted due to any other reason.

In these cases, Ext3 file recovery applications come for your rescue. These are effective third party utilities, which allow you to perform Linux Recovery on your own. With read-only and non-destructive conduct, the applications are completely safe to use.

Stellar Phoenix Linux Data Recovery is the most efficient solution for all Linux data loss situations. It recovers data from Ext4, Ext3, Ext2, FAT32, FAT16, and FAT12 file system volumes. The software works with all major distributions of Linux operating system including Mandriva, SUSE, Red Hat, Fedora, and Debian.
