There are also 3rd party file recovery utilities (usually not free). If the blocks do not get overwritten then it may be possible to recover the file. I used a product call Stellar Phoenix before which indicates that it works on linux file systems.

What I do is mount the ext3 in ext2 mode and use mc to undelete all the files in another disk
But ext3 deletes/blanks all the directory info - eg the complete filename when a file is deleted, so you cant know which inode the file lives on ...
Sohow would mc undelete them ???
