Windows 10: need help with One Drive file restoration

Hi all, First off, sorry for putting this in the wrong forum, for some reason my screen reader doesn't like the subtopics anymore, so I am not able to choose subtopics. Anyway, I need help getting my One Drive files back. A couple days ago, somehow my entire Documents folder from my PC got copied to my One Drive, and what I had on One Drive got deleted. After a quick search, I found out that I could log into the One Drive site via the web and restore my files under settings. So, I did that, and found the One Drive recycle bin, which had everything I wanted to restore in it. All these were dele

Corrupt files when restored

Took me a while to answer, and follow the instructions.
Here are the results:
Restoring from the 2TB drive failed and the FAQ page on GetDataBack site explains this scenario (file name found but on valid data to restore on NTFS) quite well.
Recuva software also found the files by name but they weren't valid to restore. For the next part Recuva wasn't helpful, too.
I decided to try a different approach. I managed to find an old HDD (that I stopped using because it fell and "got" bad sectors) that had the photos. I used R-Studio program to skip those sectors (manually, they were too much for the program to ignore in sequential scan) and managed to restore all of them (I think).
Thanks for the help.
Hope it helps someone.

 

Free hard drive backup/restore program?

I am looking for a free (freeware) program that will back up and restore a hard drive. I'm looking to clone a few external hard drives. If the program will backup the used space instead of the whole drive this will be awesome! Thanks for any suggestions.
