Moving Data During Recovery

#1 Post by bvybvy »

Hello. I downloaded PhotoRec and it's working much better than I expected. It's quickly filling up the hard drive I designated with recovered files, and it's going to run out of space. I've paused the recovery.

My question: Can I pause the recovery and move the older folders named recup_dir.xxx to another drive to reclaim space? And then resume recovery?

It looks like it builds the folders sequentially, and that as long as I don't move the one(s) currently in use, that this should work.

Thank you. And thank you for this great software...
