Dear All,
I formatted my 3 TB ext. HDD by error - how can I recover my data using TestDisk? Do I have to go file by file or is it possible to recover everything at once?
I did not write anything on the disk after formatting!
I really hope someone can help . . .

Many thanks for your answer!
Can I recover the Directory and file structure and will the file names be there or do I have to rework everything?
Kind regards and thanks again!!
