Recover your files


You have to complete 6 steps to restore your files:

  1. Scan for your files.
    hfsprescue -s1 <device node|image file> [-b <block size>] [-o <offset in bytes>] [-d <working / destination directory>] [-f|--force]

  2. Cleanup file database.
    hfsprescue -s2 [--utf8len <value 1 to 5>] [--future-days <days>] [-d <working directory>]

  3. Restore your files.
    hfsprescue -s3 <device node|image file> [-b <block size>] [-o <offset in bytes>] [-d <working directory>] [--vh-file <file name>] [--eof-file <file name>] [-c <file number>] [--alternative]

  4. Restore your directory structure.
    hfsprescue -s4 [-d <working directory>]

  5. Move the restored files to the correct directories.
    hfsprescue -s5 [-d <working directory>]

  6. Last step, finalize and cleanup.
    hfsprescue -s6 [-d <working directory>] [-k]

hfsprescue will guide you through every step and is telling you the command for the next step.


A simple example for the 6 steps:

hfsprescue -s1 /dev/sdb2
hfsprescue -s2
hfsprescue -s3 /dev/sdb2
hfsprescue -s4
hfsprescue -s5
hfsprescue -s6
