depends on what sort of disaster , just loss of files or corrupt hard
disks etc or something worse like a hammer that fell on a hard disk by
mistake :-)

have been using testdisk - its really good for on the fly recovery of
lost / accidentally deleted files, esp from data cards and camera
memory cards.

and is also good for recovering information /data from lost
partitions. (esp if some virus / malware snuck in you know where and
you are "wincing" with the pain and wanting to throw something out of
the fanlight)

 It can work on your resident Linux OS , specially (only rather) if
you have more than one partition and the recovery to partition is
greater than the recovery from partition.

It can be used from a live session as well, provided one installs testdisk
