I’m having trouble finding a recovery utility that meets my need. Ext4magic and extundelete don’t seem to allow for recovery of a specific directory, only working on the entire filesystem. Photorec can browse directories, doesn’t support ext4. Is there anything out there that can do both?
It has been a few years since I had to recover files. But, as far as I can remember, I have only used ext4 filesystem. I also booted Testdisk from a flashdrive; I may have used Hiren’s Boot CD or something similar.
I am sorry I am not able to help you much. But, I do hope you are able to recover your files.
