Need Help Recovering A BIG Disk Error.
by kevinbenko from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5AA2X)
My HDD crashed. I replaced the drive and had to reconstruct the whole system.
I make backups religiously, but one backup is bad.
Apparently, I hadn't shut it down before it was finished doing the backup, and there is a terrible error, that I cannot fix, even though I used alternate superblocks
(yes, I did e2fsck and fsck.ext4)
Does ANYONE have a solution to recover my 2TB backup?
{{PS, I just get my 46 DVD drives of music out to reinstall my music, but I have also lost all my gaming data, and I did keep my pictures/photographs on a Dropbox account, AND all of my passwords are in a paper notebook, so that's good}}
Anyway, thank you for any help.
