I want to recover my files from the two folders: “Raw” and “Labelled”.
What are the differences between them? And can any tool recover the original folder structure and filenames?
Raw recovery means the software found files by their file type (e.g., .jpg, .docx) but couldn’t recover their original names or folder paths—so everything is lumped together.
Labelled (or “Reconstructed”) recovery means the software was able to detect some file names and possibly folder structures using the file system’s metadata.
Yes, if the file system isn’t too badly damaged. Many recovery tools can recover original names and folders only if enough of the file system metadata is intact.
iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac is an excellent tool that is good at fixing raw partitions and recovering data from the raw folder.
