2.2 Command Line Options
Fatback version 1.3 provides the following command line
options:
- -a
- --auto
- Run Fatback in automatic undelete mode. This mode will attempt to recover all
deleted files in a given partition, and only that partition. If the input data
is a partitioned drive, use the -p number or
--partition=number option to specify which partition to use.
- -o directory
- --output=directory
- Place recovered files into the directory specified. If Fatback is run in
automatic undelete mode, or if a recursive copy is performed, sub directories
will be created underneath the output directory that correspond to directories
in the partition that Fatback is working with.
- -l log-file
- --log=log-file
- Place the audit log into the specified file.
- -v
- --verbose
- Display extra information to the screen.
- -p partition-number
- --partition=partition-number
- Process a specific partition of a partitioned drive. This is necessary to use
auto mode with a partitioned drive. In interactive mode, the partition menu
will be bypassed.
- -d
- --delprefix=prefix
- Use prefix as the beginning of the name of deleted files. The
default value is '?'.
- -s
- --single
- Treat input as a single partition without checking for partitions.
- -z sector-size
- --sectsize=sector-size
- Use sector-size as the sector size of the input data instead of the
default value of 512.
- -h
- --help
- Display a help screen and terminate
- -V
- --version
- Display the Fatback version number and terminate.
