Duplicate Files Recovered - Help!
Posted: 20 Sep 2015, 16:22
Hi,
First, really love this software. Thank you for the time putting it together and making it available,
Next, I'm trying to recover from a big bonehead move. I use a Synology NAS drive which uses the ext4 format. I have two drives to try and recover from since they were set up as RAID 1. While in the root, I accidentally deleted the Folder where about 800GB of family photos were.
Using a USB docking station and one of the 4TB HDD's connected to my PC, I've run your software several times with different results. The first 3-4 kept crapping out on me for some reason and I had to start over. Last night, after about a 30 hour scan (only searching for JPG) I was excited to see that there were about 565K photos save to an external USB hard drive. Sadly, when I looked at them, the first 140K photos or so we're all good to go. The remaining 400K photos are all Exactly the same.
I'd like to continue to make a run at recovery here but I'm not sure if I should do something different or expect different results. Is it the software that got hung up or is it possible the drive somehow repeats the photo? Would it be on the other drive also? Should I shift away from the USB HDD Docking station and directly attach to the PC for better results? Any advice is appreciated! Thank you again.
