Is there a way to carve out a specific file type ? .SQL files which are uncorrupted

#1 Post by mindsc4pe »

Thank you for reading my post.

I have a Windows 10 laptop here with the partitions properly intact but someone deleted their SQL work before exiting the company.

I am trying to find the SQL files that were deleted. Photorec was able to find a few sql files which don't have any data in them. Is there a way to use TestDisk or PhotoRec or Scalpel to specifically find .SQL files with a deepscan ?

Would appreciate any help.

If photoRec has failed, you can try TestDisk, Advanced, Undelete.
