The author eventually recovered their files using 7-zip, which is a Windows program.


p7zip, the portable version of 7-Zip works on Linux, macOS and other Unix systems as well. It also has a Debian package.

Data recovery from that FAT32 filesystem would have worked identically in p7zip (and 7-Zip).


I know that p7zip exists. Nevertheless, the author used the Windows version and it worked for them, so I'm not sure why the Linux implementation is relevant to this conversation.


It's been available on all linux distros I have tried.
