Recovering Deleted Files After rynsc --delete

[toffer...@gmail.com]

I use rysnc to sync some local files with a S3QL mount on DreamObjects. On the last run of rsync, it deleted two files from my S3QL mount that I assume had been deleted from the local drive due to filesystem errors on the local drive.

I am using S3QL and have not unmounted the S3QL filesystem since this occurred. Although there are some empty folders in /.Trash-1000 folder on the S3QL these deleted files are not. lost+found on the S3QL mount is also empty.

Is there any way to recover the deleted files? Possibly in the local cache?

Thank you!

Yeah, these directories are only used by applications. I don't think
rsync uses either of them.

Nope, sorry.

Okay. Thanks so much for the response. Looks like I need to do some more research to adjust my future backup plans. I had only considered whole drive failure rather than just sporadic filesystem error and user error.
