In my opinion, the article is too long and includes a few examples of file recovery.

I had the same problem two years ago and I tried a lot of programs, like debugfs, photorec, ext3grep and extundelete. ext3grep was the best program to recover files.

The syntax is very easy:

# ext3grep image.img --restore-all
OR
# ext3grep /dev/sda3 --restore-all --after date -d '2015-01-01 00:00:00' '+%s' --before `date -d ‘2015-01-02 00:00:00’ ‘+%s’
