Are there any tools for recovering files in ext3 file system?
I recently deleted a old backup of a quickbooks file (which is binary
i believe) on a linux file server. It turns out that they had been
using the backup instead of the main copy for several months. no
backup - (save the backup early and often lectures it was a stupid
move).

I have used OpenOffice on Linux to open files that just won't open on
Windows in Office. This is always a great think when it is your boss's
report that refuses to be open and has to be submitted in 10 minutes.
