minus-squareTheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoHow can it restore disk partitions? You can only undo the changes you have not committed to the disk. It does not perform data recovery operations. Nowhere have I seen restoring partitions as part of its functionality, in my usage of GParted. That seems more up the alley of Testdisk and R-Studio.

minus-squareryannathans@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoGparted can restore deleted files?
minus-squaremvirts@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoI dont think so… you can use it to set up deleted paritions again afaik but thats all that i know of.
minus-squarenicoweio@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoThough nothing can replace a proper backup
