Okay, so I'm a newbee.
Had to let my network administrator go who new everything about Linux about 5 months ago.
I'm primarily a windows geek, not Linux.
This person has remotely logged into my network and brought down a VmWare server with 4 virtual server machines and a seperate Ubuntu server running as a backup server running PcBackup.
Data was deleted before crashing the servers by deleting config files. Once these servers were rebooted obviously they did not come back up.
I desperately need some good resources and instruction on how to recover/undelete these files as there has been little to no activity on these 2 servers since the damage has been done.
VmWare says they can not help. Ontrack wants from $500 up to $8,000 to help restore the VmServer.
From what I can tell, through on-line research, I need to boot from a live Ubuntu CD, launch a recovery/undelete program and save what is found to an external usb hard drive. However I can not find a good utility to do this or an ISO for a live Ubuntu CD.
Please help, my business is down, web server, PBX, E-mail, Windows Server 2003 etc.
Thx.....
