So can I image the partition in "realtime" or do I need to take the
server off-line and boot from a live cd?

MWD.

I would recommend that you image the drive, then you can try  
multiple things
with out risk of damaging the original content.  As we're all aware  
sometime
the how-tos and directions can need a bit of tweaking, there's  
nothing like
being able to get a second chance or third or fourth when learning.

Hi all,

I've been asked to search a computer for files that have been  
deleted
recently.

As far as I am aware the disks have not been wiped (the directory
structure appears to be intact) and there is no need for this to pbe
presented in a court of law.

I've looked at foremost and it appears to only apply to a given  
partition.

As I am only interested in a particular directory and the disk  
partion
that the directory resides on is an ext3 LVM volume, are there any
risks in using foremost to recover this data?

Kind regards,

MWD
