4MRecover 11.0 Beta, a new distribution based on 4MLinux that is designed to be used specifically for file recovery, is now available for download and testing.

The 4MLinux developer is branching out and this is the second distro in a week that is made available and that follows a similar trend. The previous one is called 4MParted and it helps users to partition their systems more easily from outside the other OSes. Now, 4MRecover is using TestDisk and PhotoRec to allow users to recover lost files from the available partitions.

The developer says that "this initial release is based on 4MLinux 11.0 and TestDisk 6.14. PhotoRec (tool to recover lost files) is started automatically. Just close PhotoRec, and Midnight Commander will be opened so that you can manage your files. You can also execute 'testdisk' (in Midnight Commander's shell prompt) if you are going to try to recover lost partitions."

Even if PhotoRec might sound like something designed only for images, that's not the case. It works with any kind of file formats and it's very efficient. You can download 4MRecover 11.0 Beta from Softpedia and give it a go. Please keep in mind that it's still a Beta release and some problems might still linger.
