Lost my encrypted 100gb txt veracrypt container by using lili and fat formatted my 2tb drive. im a retard it formatted it in fat32 then i did a windows fast format back to ntfs. (maybe this made things worse) hoping this allows me to retrieve the 100gb txt container.

recuva is currently on a deep scan estimating 24hours or should i use drill disk ? i know the file name of the txt if that is any help. (opslag.txt) 100gb can you guys help me get my archive container back from the disk ?

thanks fags

One reason I haven't ever used encryption. But really, you must keep a backup of important stuff. Drives fail. Users do stupid things. Only data I've ever lost was due to me deleting it (and not realizing until months later, when the backup also had it deleted).

IT goat.

R-studio, and it's smaller, more function focused R-undelete, softwares will get the file for you.

R-undelete is fairly cheap iirc - just checked, it's free now.

I use r-studio and it has saved so many lost data's.

Also, O&O hdd partition softwares can actually just change entire filesystems and partition sizes while keeping data in tact.

So try them as well.

Use a software at you own risk!

Read manuals and watch videos before clicking if you are unsure.

Cheers!

Recuva, give tried it about a dozen times - it's ok, but R-undelete is probably what you want

Linux has a great tool called "TestDisk" that can recover lost files. If you want to use it (and don't have a Linux machine; Download Linux Mint and throw it on a USB drive and boot the machine. Once booted into the live environment run the following from a terminal: sudo apt install testdisk -y ... once installed type sudo testdisk ... from there you can go here for the steps to use the tool: https://www.journaldev.com/36700/how-to-install-testdisk-on-linux-and-recover-deleted-files

No.

But recovering data from a formatted disk has never given me any issues. I suppose it's possible you corrupted your file, but it seems unlikely.

If you can figure out how to make an exact copy of your drive, you could do that before fucking around with recovery options, best alternative is to send it in for data recovery to your local experts. They're everywhere, but usually aim for corporate clients. I know a few who do recovery for banks, and they're geared to the teeth, including a clean room for taking out HDD platters.
