We had a situation come up where a folder was deleted from the server that is not in the backups. The folder contained several gigs of image files - jpg, tif and png files.
We need to try and recover these files, so I used Active@Undelete to do a scan of the partition where the files were stored and found them all. I recovered the files to a different computer, but now after looking at them, none of them will open in any image viewing program (I have tried MS image viewer, browsers, photoshop, etc).
The files look normal - they have the correct file names, they are the right size and all permissions look okay. I also tried two other file recovery utilities but they recover files that cannot be viewed as well.
Has anyone else seen this before? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
