Has anyone worked with REDundead ?

[Daniel Russo]

Looking for help with REDundead program. Has anyone worked with it ?

Thanks

 

[N_Villers]

Works great. What do you need help with?

 

[Daniel Russo]

I have a situation. I downloaded my card to my hard drive few days ago. A few days after I went into my drive that had the downloaded folders. Everything was their except the R3D files in each of the clip folders. The only thing I can think of is that some how the transfer stopped before the R3D files begun to transfer.

My help is that I need to try and recover the R3D's off of the SSD card.

I tried using REDundead last night. Here is what I got,

Am I doing something wrong ? I think so. Any help on starting the recovery through Terminal and REDundead would be helpful.

Thank you

 

[Kemalettin Sert]

i saved the footage from 6 months ago on SSD with REDundead

Example: REDundead /dev/rdisk9 /Volumes/newdisk

you choose this
redundead /dev/rdisk3 /Users/russophotography/vans/REDundead/
its not existing folder i guess also no / at the end

 

[Daniel Russo]

If I want to save the recovered data on to a external drive not my desktop is this what I would say

REDundead /dev/rdisk9 /Volumes/newdisk/Vans ?

 

[Kemalettin Sert]

dunno never tried that..why dont you try first on your desktop?

 

[Conrad Hunziker]

In the terminal type:

REDundead /dev/rdisk9

Include the space at the end. Then in finder, navigate to the folder you wish to copy to and click and drag the folder to the terminal window. It will fill in the path to that folder. Make sure it ends with a slash /. Youll end up with something like:

REDundead /dev/rdisk9 /Volumes/VolumeName/path/to/folder/

 

[Daniel Russo]

thank you will try now

what happens if i get a permissions denied ? I did what R3D Data said and I got a permission denied

You didint type the "REDundead" first.

REDundead /dev/rdisk1 /Volumes/Vans/Recover/

 

[Daniel Russo]

So its Writing the files now, will REDundead recovery as many files as it can or does not stop until you tell it too ?

 

[Daniel Russo]

I ran the REDundead program and have pulled footage from the Card. But its only recovering the most recent files starting with A008_... I need to recover A007_...

Has anyone been able to recover past the last recorded series ?

Thanks

[N_Villers]

If you recorded media on top of the previous material it is unlikely for you to be able to recover it.

 

[Von Thomas]

Since this has not been addressed yet in this thread, let me chime in. The fact that you had incomplete transfers suggest you did not use a verifiable transfer solution. So you don't go through is again, may I suggest you use R3D Data Manager to back up your RED files to multiple drives. One transfer is not enough, and next time, please check you transfer, it can save you worry and regret.

[Daniel Russo]

Surely there is a way to recover past the last recorded data ?

 

[Craig Parkes]

Surely there is a way to recover past the last recorded data ?

If the data was still on there, Red Undead would likely have recovered it. When you re-record over the card the old data is overwritten by the new as it fills up. If you A008 was a full cards worth of data, there would be no A007 Data left unwritten over to recover.

Not verifying the transfer was successful during production with a program that does a checksum etc is an accidental equivalent of a mag of film getting flashed and rendered useless. It either happens because the camera loader wasn't competent/expereineced/careful enough, or because of bad on set or transit practices.

Much like accidentally flashing a mag, if you've accidentally overwritten the data by filling up the same card after not checking the footage was in fact somewhere else, then it is in fact gone.

In Redcine-x pro, I deleted the R3Ds from the Browser Project window, apparently this deletes the R3D files from the hard drive! Not knowing this I emptied the recycle bin.

Now I'm trying to get those R3d files back, the external drive works fine, it has not been reformatted, corrupted, or written to since the files were deleted.

I tried REDundead using this in the terminal redundead /dev/rdisk5 /Users/admin/Desktop/REDundead/

As soon as I press enter, I get "Done!" with no files recovered.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Olivier Madar]

Exactly the same here. What does "Done !" mean if nothing has been done ??

I used REDundead in the past without any problems, and I can't see what is wrong here.
