I have accidentally deleted files from my VPS server bought from Linode. It uses Ubuntu 12.04. How can I recover the files. I hadn't enabled backup for it.

You have to ask from Linode if they have any backups.
Now, the next step for you is to start taking your own backups.

Sorry, then you are out of luck. If you can get the whole disk image for your server (as in whole
/dev/sda
or so), you can run PhotoRechttp://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
against it and see if it can find the files. Aug 28, 2013 at 6:38
Short answer .... NO. Remember backups are your responsibility and an important one at that.
