Today I managed to wipe 200Gb of very important data off an external drive. So if something goes wrong you should make a rescue op immediately. You can "undelete" wiped files from Linux partitions (ext3/ext4) and NTFS -so long as you haven't been using the partition and stored new files over the lost ones. In Linux it's easy (relatively, if you act quickly) to reclaim files that have been wiped from disk -because really they are still there but their names are gone and their inodes have been offered for new files to be stored in their place. This might save your life one day (or the life of some files you removed bypassing the trash!)
