I was overly happy with my maui 2.1 installation and wanted to backup for the first time. Unfortunately qt5-fsarchiver destroyed my partition almost completely. Only a few (not so relevant folders) were left.

I would be happy, if somebody could recommend a (hopefully GUI) software that can deal with SSD partition recovery properly. I tried gddrescue, but did not succeed. Testdisk showed the deleted folders properly, but somehow I could not copy them. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

I suspect that almost all folders / files are in place, but "just" marked deleted or the filetable was deleted partially.

Thanks again for any hint!
