Michael, thanks for the input. When backing up with G4L we set the file name with the extension .img. HexEdit of a G4L backup file has the 1st 4 bytes, 0x 89 4C 5A 4F (last 3 = LZO). I created a signature file with this identifier for PhtoRec. It is now retrieving some files. It does not seem to be recovering the file names. Thanks, Kevin Eisinger

I am looking for a way to undelete some .img files that were created with G4L using LZOP compression. So far I have tried, on Linux PhotoRec - did not find the files. on Windows Disk Drill seem to find files but show them as zero size. This means it cannot recover them. Recuva finds the files and lists their Last Modified and size, state is Unrecoverable. Comment is File's data could not be found on the disk. I know this is not directly a G4L issue but was hoping to get some direction on how to recover...

Michael, Where should I post requests for new features in G4L? I would like to request that G4L add a screen when backup is complete indicating it completed successfully. We would have to click OK to acknowledge that screen and to go back to previous screen. Hopefully this is not difficult to add. When G4L encounters hard drive errors it goes back to the previous screen, thus if you were not watching the entire backup process you may not realize that the process did not complete successfully. Thanks,...

Michael, I am backing up a windows 10 system. It has 4 partitions, EIF partition, MS reserved, NTFS, MS windows recovery. Windows 10 is working with no problems so the errors should be in unused sections (hopefully). I did boot using an old Ubuntu 17 flash drive and started running badblocks and it found errors. Thus, it looks like hard drive issues. You mention ddrescue, is this an option on G4L? If so where can I find it. Thanks, Kevin Eisinger

I have successfully accessed files from the G4L image file. The backup have been from a Windows 7 system and a Windows 10 system. I have accessed these from a Windows 7 and Windows 10 system. I create backup with the default lzop compression, thus I had to uncompress the image prior to mounting to it. As mentioned previously you will need enough hard drive space for the original size of the hard drive that was backed up. Also if your image file is on a network this will take a lot of time to uncompress....

I am trying to backup hard drives and I am getting Errors and G4L returns back to LOCAL USE screen. I have two test systems that have the same computers and I am getting errors with both of them. G4L V 0.60, I have tried A: bz5x14.11, D: bz5x15.rc5. G4L V 0.57, I have tried D: bz5x6.15, A: bz4x19.128. I get the same errors on all of these. Computer: 3U MS-98K9 Motherboard MSI MS-98K9 BIOS American Megatrends inc V2.9b4, 4/9/2021 Hard Drive Samsung SSD870 I have tried using a 2TB HD and a 4TB hard...

I am just trying to eliminate having 2 items, Bootable CD/Flash Drive and external hard drive. I have created bootable CD with G4L and bootable flash drive with G4L. I have a 4TB external hard drive. So if I partition off 10G for G4L, how would I install G4L to that partition? Then I would install GRUB to make it bootable? Thanks, Kevin Eisinger

Looking to install G4L in external hard drive so I can boot from external hard drive and then create an image of the source hard drive to the external hard drive. How to setup a partition for G4L only and then install a bootloader to point to the G4L partition. The rest of the hard drive (another partition) would be where the backup images would be stored.
