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-1.1.lsm
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/utils/shell/safedelete-1.1.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.
New for Release 1.1:
- original file inode information can be displayed
- safedeleted files can be undeleted to a new directory and/or filename
- the ncurses interface sizes itself to fill the current screen
(kind of neat in large xterm windows; minimum screen size is 24x80)
- new undelete command line options to list currently safedeleted files
- new option file allows various time and compression options to be specified
- conversion utility to migrate safedeleted files and log from release 1.0
- directory containing safedeleted files is now in $HOME
- new man pages for all commands and for the option file
