I lose a great numbers of files (2000 or more) with a bug caused by another software. Approxmatively 90Go of data loss.
I decided to test recuva in his final version 1.04.104.
I selected the files i wanted and push the button ... and some minutes later recuva stop.
i checked the result and only a small nmber of my files was recover.
I decided to retry and monitor at the same time the task manager. i chose only 30 or 40 files to recover and this time it work !
BUT the memory usage was climbing ! every files restored seem staying in main memory ! and the restoration process stop when memory is full ! (approx 2.5 G swap file)
so i workarounded by restoring group of 30 or 40 files accordind to the 2.5Go limite ! exit the sofware, wait 30 second..(the memory usage return free) and re-lauch recuva .. etc etc.
Recuva don't release the memory when a file is restored ! so you can't use if you want to recover files with a size > 2.5go !
If a solution, like release the memory when a file is recover before process the next one, is found...it can help using recuva to recover a whole hard drive !

as before, you might try an earlier version of recuva, as earlier versions seem to work better in many ways for some people than the newer versions
