Hi Julien
Sorry to hear that.
I had a RAID failure earlier in the year and had to buy a 1TB USB HDD to
back up my entire /home from the remaining two drives, then reformat the
RAID and copy everything back from the external drive. After building
the RAID again, at one point I thought I'd accidentally deleted
everything from the external drive, losing six years' music, photos,
everything. Fortunately I hadn't, I'd just confused myself, but it was a
horrible sinking feeling like nothing I've ever felt before. Yours won't
be as bad, but still very frustrating and annoying, so I sympathise.
Sorry, I can't actually help with the recovery, but just advice from
personal experience. I used to back-up by copying Ardour project
folders, which at many, many GBs a time just for changes to the Ardour
file was really insane (and why I'd almost run out of space).
Here's the advice: get yourself an external drive -- large ones are
pretty cheap these days -- and use something like rsync to do
incremental back-ups and get into the habit of backing up every day
after you've been recording or mixing. I use luckyBackup which is a nice
GUI frontend for rsync and it's very powerful.
Best of luck with the recovery

Hello everyone!
I'm sorry to post this here. I've just deleted two days worth of
recording work by accident or lack of concentration. It has just
happened. Any trick to get the files back. I think, nothing should have
been written on the partition yet. It's mostly .wav-files, so I can't
just grep the device file for the partition for some text. The computer
has one more partition, but it's smaller, so methods, that require a
full image of this partition are out.
Thanks for any advise! and kind regards
Julien
