Thanks, I was just curious, the 4 downloads tell me that people want the stuff.
Do you want to create a thread in x86-64 modules to promote it even more, or should I do so?
Indeed, you could ruin a complete hard disk. Only use it when you really need it.
Also, it not restores everything. Like, it seems not to know about aac (advanced audio codex) music files.
I have a ls and find done on all my partitions, external harddrives and USB sticks, so I know the original paths of each file (via find) and also the file sizes via ls.
So, I did a lsfind as well on all restored folders and files looking for the filesize of one aac that I made by cutting out the parts with singing, and got no results - which means photorec V7.1 could not restore aac files.
Also, the folder hierarchy is gone, and most files get random names.

Good I do have backups, manually restoring the paths and filenames of 322606 files would be such a pain in the lower back.
So I only have to do a manual restoring of paths and filenames for the ones that are too newly created to be in any of my backups. Which is a doable amount.
