I have uploaded a new release of SafeDelete to sunsite.unc.edu. It will
be in ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/Incoming/ until it gets moved to its
proper place:
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/utils/shell/safedelete-1.2.lsm
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/utils/shell/safedelete-1.2.tar.gz
SafeDelete is a set of utilities to allow deleted files to be
recovered. The safedelete command serves as an enhancement to
the rm command and saves files to an alternate directory before
actually removing them. Files in this alternate directory are given
a new name so multiple files with the same name can be saved
without having to worry about collisions. As files are deleted a log
file is updated indicating which files can be recovered using the
undelete command.
The undelete command will restore a file to its original directory
(along with its original permissions, times stamps, etc). Undelete
has both a command line and ncurses interface. The ncurses "flavor"
displays a full-screen, scrollable list of all the files a user can
undelete. This comes in handy when you forget which files you still
have available for recovery.
Release 1.2 enhancements:
- the -r, -R and -d options on the rm command are now fully supported
- filename pattern matching on the undelete command
- "mass mode" undeletes to recover lots of files and even entire
directory trees
- "mass mode" file removals in the ncurses interface
- new command line options on the undelete command
- safedelete now looks and feels more like the real rm command
- the ncurses interface now gives more meaningful information
while processing undeletes
- updated man pages
