How to ignore files that are already recovered (exist in recovery folder)

I had a major file loss incident the other day (several thousand files, mostly family photos and videos) and am in the process of trying to recover. I've never worked with Recuva before but it seems straightforward enough so far.

However, one problem I am having is that I did a partial recovery of "Excellent" files, and now when I am doing a second pass, I don't know how (or if it is possible) to specify "Ignore selected files that already exist in the destination folder". Perhaps at runtime it would be smart enough to do this anyways, except the problem is I am struggling with disk space (which is how I got into this spot in the first place) and when I try to do my second pass, it is giving me a "not enough disk space" error when I press Recover.

There are simply too many files for me to practically manage this manually. Because I had to recover onto 2 seperate drives, the ideal functionality would be if it had a feature to "check these folders (multiple) for existence before restoring a file".

Is there anything I can do??

I don't think that there's a way to do this. Recuva will just put a (2) suffix on duplicate file names. How did you do the original selection, are you repeating this?

You could always dump the first lot of recovered files to DVD and then plough on, depending on how many gb you are recovering. Or buy a big flash drive and dump them there.
