Step 1 will scan for files step 2 cleans up the database step 3 restores those files step 4 restores the directory structure step 5 moves those files into the correct directories and step 6 cleans up. It does this via six different steps that need to be run separately. HFS+ Rescue is a really well-engineered tool that you can run against an HFS+ formatted partition that will attempt to rebuild the entire contents of the drive, including recently deleted files, on your Linux drive. Fortunately, Linux and open source are here to save the day. HFS+ is the journaled filesystem used on these machines, and just like any other filesystem, it can go wrong.Īs this is Apple's ecosystem, native tools that run on OS X are no longer permitted on Apple's App Store (because they require permissions to modify the underlying filesystem structure, of course!), and almost every other option is proprietary and expensive. Many of us install Linux on Apple hardware and keep the old Apple operating system around for one reason or another – OS X is still excellent for audio software, for example, and some designers still refuse to give up on the Adobe hegemony. This may seem like an odd thing to write about in a magazine that deals predominantly with Linux, but it's not. HFS+ Rescue – or hfsprescue as it is on the command line – is an absolutely remarkable tool that saves Apple Mac hard drive data from disaster.
