#PhotoRec

2026-01-13

J'ai lancé #photorec sur un HD de 1To NTFS devenu illisible.
57 heures écoulées pour un peu plus de la moitier du disque, faut être patient, mais ça fonctionne.

Over the course of the weekend, I managed to degoogle myself a refurbished Pixel 8 to /e/ OS (very surprised to see that Backmarket isn't performing a proper reinstall of a fresh OS, just deleting the user content data!) and imaged an HDD from my family's computer in the early 2000's. Recovering data from it brings a lot of old memories... (Tried #photorec, #fiwalk and #filetrove on them, those are incredible tools.)

🌘 傻瓜式刪除Sony相機影片檔後,我該如何復原?
➤ 一場由誤刪引發的資料救援大挑戰
jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/rec
作者在複製Sony相機的影片檔至電腦時,意外刪除了SD卡上的所有檔案。經過一番努力,包括嘗試使用PhotoRec等工具,作者發現Sony相機的XAVC S格式影片檔在復原後常出現不完整或無法播放的問題。最終,他透過製作SD卡的完整磁碟映像檔,並使用名為Untrunc的工具,利用一個正常的影片檔作為範本,成功修復了損壞的影片檔,找回了珍貴的拍攝素材。
+ 作者的遭遇太驚險了!幸好最後找到了解決方法,這篇文章對於Sony相機使用者來說絕對是救命的經驗談。
+ PhotoRec這種工具聽起來很強大,但沒想到Sony的影片格式還有這種特殊情況。Untrunc這個工具聽都沒聽過,學到了!

Je garde bien sous le coude l’explication de #korben pour retrouver des photos d’un disque dur qui rend l’âme !

Still impressed with bash scripts. I was looking for a way to sort my files by type after recovering data with Photorec. I was able to sort all the PDF, JPG, and other files that Photorec recovered.
#bash #photorec #diskutilities

Another status update: using #Photorec on my main pc I have been able to recover a lot of my files from the mirrored drives from the minion Debian file server.

Photorec is still running. When I last looked I was up to 645 recovery folders. So far I have manually sifted through 400 of the folders to find pictures. Lots more to sift through. Then a final double check.

Status update: running gparted data recovery on the mini #Debian file server produced no results after 8 days. Now I am running #Testdisk on the mini server with one of the drives and #Photorec running on my main pc with the other drive.

Hopefully this will save a handful of my picture folders that I did not back up elsewhere.

Cross your fingers and wish me luck 🍀

For some reason one of my #OrgRoam files were suddenly 0 bytes, with no undo information.

It wasn't the most important file, but vexing to lose it nonetheless.

After some thinking I ran #PhotoRec (cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec) looking for txt-files.

There were quite a few results, but I was able to search them quickly with rg/#RipGrep by exluding some files and adding some context:

rg -Txml -Thtml -B 5 'category: Wiki' recup_dir.* | less

Found the file, and have now added it to git properly. 🎉

Solución por si alguien lee esto en el futuro.
Hay que usar cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_D
Es gratuito y open source, para todas las plataformas.
Analiza los contenidos que encuentra en el pendrive aunque no tenga formato y consigues recuperar los datos, aunque luego tienes que buscarte la vida para ponerle el nombre a cada cosa.

Como apunte adicional, en virustotal había uno que marcaba photorec como infectado, así que les contacté y lo corrigieron.

Извлекаем файлы из образа повреждённого диска: ddrescue, losetup и немного магии

Проблема повреждённых жёстких дисков знакома многим. Диск начинает работать со сбоями, система зависает, файлы исчезают. В этой статье мы разберём, как спасти данные: создадим образ повреждённого диска с ddrescue, подключим его через losetup, смонтируем разделы и извлечём файлы. Также рассмотрим восстановление удалённых данных с помощью утилит TestDisk и PhotoRec и разберём, что делать в случае проблем с NTFS.

@RezaHoss
اگه فقط می‌خوای پرونده‌ها رو برگردونی و بیشترشونم عکسه، یه نرم‌افزار بود به نام #photorec
تو برگردوندن پرنده‌ها به‌صورت فله‌ای کارش خوب بود

@quinoa0 Prueba con #photoRec ! Es un programa "gráfico de consola". Se usa con las flechas, el espacio y enter.
Funciona muy bien, hasta puedes definir headers de ficheros propios para que te los detecte. De todos modos, prueba a seleccionar sólo imágenes la primera vez

Entrevue avec Christophe Grenier, développeur de #testdisk et #photorec

linuxfr.org/news/entrevue-avec

En 2014 le #NIST, a publié ses résultats sur les capacités de photorec qui arrive 1er ex-aequo.

photorec apparaît dans les diapositives de la formation SecNum Academie de l’ #ANSSI.

Le voleur avait utilisé l’appareil photo, photorec a permis de récupérer des photos impliquant d'autres personnes dans un vol de grande envergure.

@foone I already do that as a #Sysadmin who knows how to use #photorec & #ddrescue...

  • Seriously, shit like this never happens under my watch.

  • Also #SolderedDownStorage like #SSD's automatically disqualifies a system for procurement and use in my book unless it has a reasonable exception and won't contain sensitive data (i.e. smartphone).

People who dislike that rule should whine at #Apple & co. for their #Enshittification with #SolderedSSDs!

En la escuela se logró recuperar la cooperadora... El tema es que la comisión anterior se ve borró todos los archivos de la computadora
Qué recomiendan para intentar recuperar archivos borrados?
#photorec va bien?
Hay algo mejor o interesante en algún otro aspecto?

No la vi, pero estimo debe usar windows... ya he pedido no la usen hasta se logre probar recuperar algo...

Lo optimo sería sacarle el HD, enchufarlo en otra computadora y desde ese otro sistema intentar recuperar archivos, no?
