Hi guys,
Over the weekend we were working on a laptop migration from local profile folders to domain and somehow with Win 8.1 (IBM thinkpad T series) after we joined the domain and started moving the local profile folder it became corrupted and we found some data missing/not up to date.
Unfortunately learning about file history being switched off by default we looked at available restore options with Shadow Explorer, seeing there was full shadow copy of the data just under a week ago. After succesfully exporting the data back to original location we found that it cannot be opened, all files seem damaged/corrupted. Mainly just XLS, DOC and PDFs.
Does anyone have any suggestions/options for getting this data back safely/succesfully through the shadow copies?
Currently we're trying a low level EaseUS data recovery to find the data/Lost folders/recycle bin and recovering as much as we can see - good news is we can see the data there and all up to date, just seems to be corrupt.
I guess what we'd like to know is how could this have happened - first we've seen with Win 8.1 showing a corrupt shadow copy restore/aka previous versions of the data, or is there a better way to get the data out of this shadow copy with explorer tools?
Last file backups we have are approx 10 months ago so we have a structure of about 16GB of data and history, but missing about 4GB of newer data from this date to the weekend.
Any advice is appreciated cheers.
