We deleted a vmdk file on a local VMFS datastore containing 1.3 TB of data and are trying to assess recovery options. VMWare support says it is not recoverable.
Does anyone have any experience recovering such a large vmdk with Scalpel and, if so, any suggestions how to proceed? (We have not yet created an image of the 3 TB SATA disk which contains the VMFS volume, but are not using the disk for obvious reasons.)
Are there other options anyone would suggest?
