For our April 17, 2007 BALUG meeting, we have: Linux Data Recovery, and How to Avoid It.
Hard drives are getting larger while their warranties get shorter. Disk failure and data corruption are facts of life that no Linux power-user can ignore. Mike Ray, formerly of DataSavers, offers techniques for dealing with your direst disk dilemmas using freely available tools. He also discusses best practices to prevent crisis situations, and offers horror stories from the field for your Schadenfreude.
