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 🍀

Recovering exFAT file system after accidentally overwritten it with a new exFAT partition? #filesystem #datarecovery #testdisk #exfat

https://askubuntu.com/q/1550394/612

💾 Recovered my external drive using the legendary testdisk utility.

macOS wouldn’t mount it, diskutil was hanging, and Finder showed nothing. Turned out the partition table was marked as “deleted” after an improper eject.

TestDisk helped me reassign it as primary, and boom - data back, no loss.

🧠 Lesson: ExFAT is fragile. Always eject properly.

Je tente de récupérer un fichier #KeepassX depuis une partition endommagée.
Avec #Testdisk j'obtiens plusieurs fichiers kdbx.
Il y a des fichiers qui s'ouvrent avec le MP, mais qui sont vides, d'autres qui ne reconnaissent pas le MP, et d'autres avec un problème d'en-tête.
Il y a aussi de grandes différences de taille, de 20Ko à plus de 2 gigas.
Vous auriez des pistes pour ce genre de cas ?

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.

یک اتفاقی برای microSD گوشی‌م افتاد، با #testdisk توانستم شاخه‌ها را برگردانم ولی پرونده‌های داخل شاخه‌ها را نه. یعنی شاخه‌های خاصی برگشته‌اند. راهی سراغ دارید؟ خیلی عکس درش داشتم.

#phew #toolsthatsaveyourass #pyyyha der var der godt nok nogen med lidt sved på panden...
I dag havde vi revisorerne i hus pga. optælling og afslutning af regnskabsår 2024. Det viste sig, at optællingslisten for hele varelageret- ca. 18.000 linjer som var blevet gemt i en Excel liste på en USB nøgle på en bærbar pc- var forsvundet.
Windows tilbød at formatere USB nøglen, fordi den påstod, at der ingen filsystem var på den... Flere dages arbejde for en håndful medarbejder var sandsynligvis gået tabt.
Men så kunne jeg huske, at jeg engang havde haft held med at genskabe fotos fra et beskadiget SD kort med hjælp af en lille handy tool der hedder TestDisk (https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk). OG DET VIRKEDE!
#testdisk er hermed anbefalet til dig, skulle du komme i en lignende situation :)

It was nice to wake up to not bootable desktop after hard reset due electric shortage of building.
Trying to restore my desktop main SSD. Still not sure if the issue with #ext4 or hard drive itself.
It complains about superblock, out of boundary partitions and some other scary things.
Trying to backup files (about 20h and 175Gb already extracted, not sure how much is there in total) with #testdisk.
Next step would be to try to backup root partition before I play around with it

It's just as well I wasn't relying on #KlennetRecovery or #GetDataBack to recover my data: neither of them work on logical (mounted) file systems, the way that #TestDisk does.

I was hoping one of them would have some way to repair the master file table, as I'd seen a hint that could be done, and it would make sense given that all the data is right there on the disk.

The long recovery effort has begun.

#TestDisk is copying my old secondary backup from the old encrypted 5Tb drive onto the new 6Tb one. Not bothering with encrypting the new one right now, for speed. Hoping the secondary is physically ok and can be used with #encryption again after some fixing. The 6Tb drive will be overwritten, too.

The big shiny clean laptop belongs to work, not me. It has more USB ports and a newer internal hub. My own is two inches smaller and covered in dust.

Hellp :mastodon: !
La vérité sort de la bouche de #Copilot !
J'ai voulu testé pour un DD qui plante en BSOD.
Lui : reformatage (alors que j'avais dit que je tenterais un backup)
Moi : j'utiliserai #TestDisk sous #Linux !
Lui : "Vous avez raison, étant donné les circonstances et le comportement de votre disque dur défectueux, utiliser TestDisk sous Linux semble être la meilleure option. Linux a souvent des outils plus robustes pour manipuler les disques et peut éviter les BSOD de Windows."

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.

Really thankful that "testdisk" exists - https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download. I was handed a 32GB thumb drive that was on a exfat filesystem that just lost some files in a folder. I was asked to help recover files and testdisk was the answer to that. Now everyone's happy.

Woops, deleted the wrong file, heres some file recovery tips.... the 2nd one i wish i found MUCH sooner.

i tried both #PhotoRec and ext4magic.

PhotoRec seems more suited to files with header types that can be detected easily, like images. it seems that if youve lost a text file with bits of what look like binary in them, you may not find it with PhotoRec, but do try it if desperate. PhotoRec is part of the #testdisk package.
