URGENT - RECOVER QCOW2 disk

[dgallig]

Hello ,
Actually in the middle of a disaster...
The qcow disk with all the backups has been accidentally deleted during a migration, with a vm image inside...
What can I do ?

I'm desperate

Depends on the underlying filesystem, but for ext4 there exist undelete tools. You have to freeze the filesystem before the files get overwritten, so shutdown everything, cold-copy your disks via dd, restart everything and then do an offline undelete attempt.

I don't know about your exact situation. But maybe http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk is helping you.

apt install testdisk

Thank guys, nothing to do i recovered just a bunch of compressed files ( i think part of the .vma.lzo... )
Luckily I had some backup of the content, and with that and ansible I could rebuild the machine....
