Midnight's undelete has the same limitations as debugfs, since it's using the same approach. The real problem is that ext3 isn't saving the block numbers in the inode after the inode is deleted, which means that the debugfs and midnight commander undelete schemes can't work. If you use e2image to save snapshots of the filesystem metadata, you can use that to recover from deleted files that existed before the e2image metadata snapshot was taken. The real answer though is to keep regular backups of your data.... - Ted
