Tips

It has always been a headache to recover data from Ext2-Ext4 file system partitions. If there is a large amount of data loss, generally only the latest deleted part can be recovered.
If the data files you lost were stored on system drive, we recommend you stop using the system drive and boot from another partition or an external hard drive to perform recovery.
If you have enough technical background knowledge and experience, you can try ext3grep. It is a free and excellent tool for ext3 recovery on Debian and Ubuntu, and can help you recover content using journal entries.
As for the different data loss cases, you may try different software to select a suitable one before you make a final decision.
