![]() ![]() This works best for media/read many, write not-so-often drives, where you can easily defrag, and not have to worry much updating PAR2 Data. (or whatever data recovery/file carving software). If you pre-emptively create PAR2 data, even just 1% of recovery data, with small recovery blocks, spread out over 10 files for an entire directory of files, you'll have just added an enormous advantage to recovering your date, contiguous and fragmented, and the filenames and directory structures, if you're able to recover some of those PAR2 files with Photorec. He got right on it and added PAR2, but you have to set photorec to recover incomplete files for PAR2 because you'll want to get as much of the file as possible, rather than having it ignore the file if there is a filesize mismatch. One thing I personally took upon myself is to collaborate with the author of photorec to find PAR2 files. There's a section on photorec's documentation that has some scripts that are useful for doing this sort of recovery, using exif and other metadata. ![]() You can't recover the folder structure, but you may be able to rebuild the filenames off other data. (practically its "Load in another OS with a different file system driver implementation - windows for ext, linux for ntfs, testdisk, recurva then photorec) ![]() As such i tend to run recurva first (it preserves filenames) THEN testdisk in a recover scenario. Photorec does do that, its one of the more annoying things about it, but its meant to recover files in scenarios where its more important to get the data.It often is able to rebuild images from fragments in situation where commercial software can't. ![]()
