Recovering files by their original name

#1 Post by zillur »

Hi there,
I was trying to recover files from a disk to another disk. I have recovered more than 10TB data. But photorec renames all the files/folders. Is there any way to recover the files and folders by their original name?

What is the filesystem type ? ext2/3/4, xfs... ?
How have you lost the files ? rm, mkfs... ?
