Testdisk Amp; Photorec 7.2 Download
Helaine Timonere
I have 4 HDD montee JBOD on volume 3 unfortunately I delete a folder with lots of data sharing that I love recover .
I think that with testdisk photorec and I have had a chance to regain my files .
Content Updates my version is 2.10.310 .
thank you in advance
To merge them :
1) download the files photorec_testdisk_7.0.3.zip + photorec_testdisk_7.0.3.z01.zip
2) go to the directory where the files were saved
3) remove .zip to the end of photorec_testdisk_7.0.3.z01.zip to obtain photorec_testdisk_7.0.3.z01
4) in a terminal, type in :
After running e.g. ddrescue to create image.img, photorec image.img will open a terminal UI where you can select what file types to search for and where to put the recovered files. There is very good documentation on their wiki.
The photorec utility stores recovered files with a random names(for most of the files) under a numbered directories, e.g. ./recup_dir.1/f872690288.jpg, ./recup_dir.1/f864563104_wmclockmon-0.1.0.tar.gz.
I did a bit of research and almost bought another drive to image onto but testdisk did a scan and found the partition and could list the files. I took the chance. I tried another program that identified the problem and could fix it for a cost and see the files but was limited functionality and big cost for a year licence.
My very first encounter with digital forensics was in one of the CTF, named otter CTF, that I played with OpenToAll. It was complete forensics and RE focusing CTF and had loads of challenges which included the use of tools like volatility, testdisk, photorec, etc and I was very happy that I was able to solve a lot of those challenges(you can read my write for that CTF here).
The course teaches you about the very basics of how autopsy works and how it can be used for finding different kinds of information from various kinds of disk images. It starts by giving you a very brief introduction about what autopsy is and why it is used, from there on the real fun of digital/memory forensics starts. It shows you how autopsy uses various modules to extract information from the images, some of those tools are the ones I mentioned above(testdisk, photorec). The course also teaches you how autopsy can be used in a shared environment where multiple members can work on various projects and can still share details/information about old projects.
Is there a way to use testdisk/photorec on the Android internal storage to try to scan for the deleted files?
Is there a way to find the encryption key on the Fairphone android to try and mount the sdcard on linux?
What filesystem does Fairphone/android use for internal storage?
In our case, the software did not repair the disk; instead it copied all
the files to another disk, and it did a much better job of it than
photorec. It properly found directory names. It only works on ntfs, I think.
I would like thank TSU and Carlos for taking the time to provide their very helpful responses. I am working with testdisk which appears to be a very nice utility. It is taking a while because of my busy schedule (and trying to be more careful).

I was able to use testdisk to recover several thousand files by copying them to my linux disk drive. Testdisk is a very nice utility (it took a bit of patience to learn it); I earlier tried a number of other utilities w/o any success. I did have a backup but it was several months old and recreating all the deltas would have been very difficult. I will send them a donation. Thanks to the group here for some very good care.
