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.
