If you left it in for long enough to look through folders it should have finished.

Must be something else.

Im not overly famillar with how that works, but it had definitly finished copying to the USB stick and I even opened some files on the drive to prove it copied ok.

Thanks guys, I'll try that later.

I did backup some data in a different way, and I cant recall which way I did for this particular backup.

some backups were copied onto the USB drive directly plugged into the NAS, and some were backed up with the drive plugged into my windows PC.
Either way, all folders were tested and was cleraly visible.

If the USB drive wasnt ejected properly on the PC, could that be a cause?

Get a better tool, like getdataback.

There are other tools for manipulating the file tables etc but I'd let something automated have a go first.

i cant recall the name, I tried two programs, and both only seemed to find a single deleted folder (not relevant to my backup).
I know the files are there, as Windows is reporting the capacity correct :(

What did you use? GetDataBack has various settings iirc, including a more 'in-depth' search option.

I have a bit of a strange issue.

I backed up several folders from my NAS onto two external USB drives before reformatting my NAS.
I've copied accross most things, but one large folders (1TB in size) is missing.

The exernal drive reports 1.4TB of data being used, yet the only folder visible (ive checked hidden folders is only 34GB).
I think the missing folder is on the hard drive, but isnt visible for some reason.

Ive plugged the drive into my NAS and Windows PC, and still cant find it.
Ive tried some data recover software, which hasnt found any 'deleted items'.

Does anyone have any suggestions/software that might be able to look at the drive in more depth?

p.s drive file format is NTFS.

:rolleyes:
