    I have that problem to recover some deleted files from a ext3 partition. The
    partition ist almost full (only 2 from 80GB free) so the area where the deleted
    files can be is quite small.

    Is there a tool to grep/copy only this unallocated area of the disc? This would
    speed up the recovery very much as we have many similar text-files on that partition.

    Regards,
    Bernhard B.
