How to recover/ restore deleted files?

This might help you http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/22560

Or at another point btrfs restore -r <subvol-id> -t <N> -v --path-regex '^/(|dir1(|/dir2(|/dir3(|/.*))))$' /dev/mmcblk0p28 /mnt/restore no idea what the subvol-id is but that you will find yourself I guess and you probably want to mount a 32gb sdcard to /mnt/ before you attempt to do that (not sure you will get anything out of it when you recover to a tiny FS)

Thanks a lot for your help (and sorry, for my late answer). But like I said, I am no pro and do not even know what to do with the script ^^. I need unfortunately a step-by-step help. Otherwise I am lost... I do not even know how to recover the data to the microSD-Card - should I ever find my lost file again.

@chemist Thanks for the post regarding Jorg Walter's undelete script here. Ran btrfs balance as Jolla was getting really unresponive and had Gallery open at the time, now I have no photos or ambiances. I have three questions please: Firstly the script has some user info but if I wanted to recover .jpg (as in all pics) dirname "$0"" would be /home/nemo "$0"" and file="${file#/}" would be file="${.jpg#/}" to get lost Jolla camera pics? Second can I run the script again to find .png pictures with *.png replacing *.jpg? Lastly the only time to replace text in the script is dir=.... and file=.... (x2) ? Thank you or anyone else who comes to my rescue in advance.

Are the files really missing or is just tracker misbehaving (tracker-control -se or tracker-control -krs will reset tracker and reindex you also have a button in sailfish-utilities for that!)? And yes, you can replace the .jpg with any fileextension you are looking for.

Cheers for quick reply. Pics are in the memory blocks but not accessible like the folder has been deleted and thus the pathways. So I took a punt and ran with what I said above. After running ./file.bin I get /bin/bash^M bad interpreter: no such file or directory. /bin/bash exists in root looking in Filecase but no idea what it does.Ta. Would like to have this script available to all Jolla users for undelete of file(s) on /home/nemo/ so any help in fixing would be appreciated. Quality instructions and find+replace in Wordpad or other and ssh file in would be key to many problems :)

That is a file conversion error, ^M is a DOS line ending and won't work. Just guessing, you used a Windows editor to create and alter the file?! Open and re-save it from a linux program usually works but best is to just create and alter it on device only.

Thanks for the heads up. I see Nano also saves the file as DOS format so will try to rewrite this arvo and post back the results. Since we have a few file managers and partial disk read by Windows, could this script have a simple gui for occasions like this? Text box to enter search location, another for Boolean criteria, last one for results destination.
