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.

Yes. Use the first CD of your set or the DVD and when it boots select
the rescue mode. When it comes up it will try to connect to the Linux
partition of your choice. Choose to mount to the Linux that has the lost
files. Find the things you need. Now decide what you want to do with the
files. You can mount another file system and then copy the files to that.
