Long story short, I have a lady who has a dying iPhone and asked me to get her data off...the thing is, the only external hard drive she gave me is Mac-formatted. She doesn't have a Mac computer at home at the moment, so she can't get the data off her self. I don't partake in the Apple ecosystem (though I know my way around it), so I don't have any Mac computers here either.
That being said, I do have several Linux (2 x Linux Mint 20.2 MATE, 1 x MX Linux 19.4) systems and 1 Win10 desktop PC. Windows can't read OR write to Mac filesystems, but I know Mint and MX can natively READ from them.
I managed to copy the data off her iPhone using my Win10 desktop, but it would be nice to be able to copy it to her own external drive where the rest of her data already is.
Now, the data on her external drive means a LOT to her as her grandfather is currently dying (very sad
) and she has a lot of photos and videos on the drive of him she would never want to risk losing.Is there a way to get HFS+ WRITING on Mint that wouldn't jeopardize her data on that drive in any way? Otherwise, I think I might be able to find a drive to temporarily lend her that I could put the data on....I'm just not 100% sure I have one and it's a LOT of data. (Mostly videos and photos....thousands of them and over 100GB worth...)
Thanks for any help!
