RedUndead

[Thomas Wright]

`hi guys,

i got a ram back from a job and the clients asking why it no work. the file is named something like aasj(aao with dots above some letters like it's swedish or summat, theres no recognisable extension and i tried using reedundead much in the fashion of drew suppa and i'm been bashed about by terminal so much i feel like i've done 12 rounds in the ring with tyson. is this unrecoverable?

client needs footage so i can't reformat the drive to test it yet. any love?

I get this:
jens-jakob-thorsens-macbook-pro:~ jensjakob$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *186.3 Gi disk0
1: EFI 200.0 Mi disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS JJ HD 186.0 Gi disk0s2
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *14.4 Gi disk1
1: Windows_FAT_32 A001_07230L 14.4 Gi disk1s1
jens-jakob-thorsens-macbook-pro:~ jensjakob$ redundead/dev/rdisk1/users/jensjakob/desktop
-bash: redundead/dev/rdisk1/users/jensjakob/desktop: No such file or directory

What am I doing wrong?

Best
JJ

First you are missing the spaces between paths. Secondly, you need to use capitals where appropriate. The terminal is unforgiving in terms of if there should be capitals and spaces in the path name.

Also I doubt you want to write these directly to your desktop. There could be hundreds of files, so putting it into another folder would make the most sense. Also make sure your destination drive has 16Gb available, as it will find every file available.

You can use R3D Data Manager which provides a GUI to the process, checks for the above gotchas and many more, and will recreate the file structure and reference MOV files.

does it matter if the disk it's coming from (REDdrives are FAT32) is not the same as the disk it's going to (Apple HFS)?

Hi Jeff,
I read your helpful guide to using REDundead, thank you very much. I am entering the commands properly, (in my case rdisk3,) and when I hit enter, the terminal immediately says Done! but it's clear no files were retrieved. Do you know what a solution might be?

Our iMac says REDundead was installed successfully, and the terminal says the script it's meant to when you check to see if installed, yet REDundead does not appear to be on the computer hard drive's Applications, so that's curious.

Any help would be awesome. We are in the midst of a shoot, and i'd love to recover a clip but I may need to reformat the redmag very soon. Thanks very much,

Wilson Braun
