undelete on ext3 filesystem

So I wiped out a directory that I thought I no longer needed. Turns out there was a 900K file that I didn't have copies of anywhere else in that directory. :(

So I quick googled on undelete for ext3 filesystems and found numerous posts on how its not possible. Funny thing it is possible ...

I eventually found http://code.google.com/p/ext3grep/ which was my lifesaver.

I'm not going to go into how to use this tool because there is already a great writeup @ http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html

Suffice it to say I got my file back and I'm happy!
