Linux data recovery tools provide different functionalities for data restoration, partition recovery, and damaged media recovery. TestDisk is normally used for partition recovery, PhotoRec helps to recover files when file system metadata becomes corrupted, and GNU ddrescue allows you to copy data from the drive with read errors. Some other programs may be needed for file system-specific or complicated cases of data recovery. Before choosing a program, determine the reasons for data loss and see if the program can handle your file system. Do not write any data to the drive anymore, and save restored data to another disk. Notchox offers data recovery software for supported Windows and macOS, but not for Linux.
