I accidentally fast-formatted full-encrypted veracrypt usb drive. I can't even restore volume header.

How can I recovery it? I'm fucking dying.

fast format literally means only deleting headers. You cant recover it

wtf I can't recovery nothing? In usual case I heard I can restore something

How do you "accidentally" format a device? How retarded do you have to be to do something like that? Do you not know how to read?
>>
>>61493191
If it wasn't encrypted you could

>>61493284
>How do you "accidentally" format a device?
By using Windows, which is known to randomly corrupt and automatically format flash drives
>>
>>61493191
Not sure what kind of encryption you used on your usb but headers usually contain actual keys to decrypt the volume(and the password you have only decrypts the headers/keys), if the headers are gone (dleted/overwitten) then decrypting the volume is impossible even if its intact (like in fast format)
>>
...And that's how most people learn to make backups. It usually takes another time make them check that the backups are actually possible to restore.

encryption is one part of keeping your data secure, the other part is backups/redundancy. learn from this anon

Sure, but that's your fault. Don't blame Windows because you can't click the correct button or take two minutes to Google "disable drive format message".

this is why keepass is a bad idea, now you know hone of your passwords

Looks like the only choice you have is to scrape all those darknet sites again to restore your cp folder.

This guy apparently managed to recover from a quick format:

On the other hand, if your header is actually b0rked, you probably don't have a chance. Sorry.

Also, have a look at this: https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Program%20Menu#tools-restore-volume-header
Apparently the headers are automatically backed up for all non-system volumes.

I hope you didn't lose anything valuable OP

I've have used Windows since 95 and it never once automatically formatted an usb. I know /g/ is anti Windows but still you're retarded.
>>
>>61493183
Why would you put your encrypted KPX database on an encrypted volume and not fucking backup either of them?
Please stop storing your password databases locally if you can't even bother with backups. Use LastPass like a normal person.

>>61493655
Storing your shit in a single doubly encrypted database with no backups is retarded, but allowing password recovery on your main email account is 100x more retarded.

This is the exact reason they recommend you use an encrypted file container stored on your usb rather than encrypting the USB.

Why would you reply with something so irrelevant? Veracrypt offers encrypted file containers.

You can't sue microsoft for any dataloss caused due to their software or updates. Read the terms of service idiot. You're data is fucked mate. All I could suggest is trying a data recovery proffessional. You are mist likely fucked though anyway.

>>61494246
it was basically a warning letter saying that X was happening in the area and that my car was spotted in that area. i read it 3 times before realising (through some internet research) that it was not a warning, fine or NIP (Notice of imminent prosecution) and that it was essentially a bollocks letter telling me that if they caught me doing this thing that i supposedly did again, i would be prosecuted.

How do you recommend "keeping backups"? Copying all your shit onto an external in the hopes that doesn't fail too? I'm not being an ass, I'm legit curious cuz I don't back up any of my shit right now.
>>
>>61493121
>>61493183
Sorry, it's fucked.
>>
>>61494782
That's what I do, except I tarball anything older than 6 months and delete the original.
>>
>>61494567
Yeah, they don't send letters for that
>>
>>61494782
well each person has their backup setup
i do the following
-backup all personal files to external drive monthly, including music and stuff
-backup a few rcs and more important config/personal files to dropbox daily( with crontab)
-backup everything from the former item + some misc stuff to a flash drive weekly

my data is safe from any apocalypse

Find just one (1) example of Windows formatting a drive without the user clicking on something and I will immediately accept my status as BTFO.

>>61495603
When installing an os on a server, the cd drive was bad on, I used another hard drive.
I made a partition on the drive, unpacked the iso to it, and set the partition as Active so it booted the installer.
I then plugged that drive in the server, booted the installer, and installed windows to the proper disk inside the server.

After setting it up, I removed the installation drive and put the server in the rack. And it didn't fucking boot.

Windows, for whatever reason, put the MBR on my install disk. After making a MBR for the server on the correct drive in the server, which took hours, the MBR on the original drive was also fucked. I had to take more hours learning to fix that because it used grub.

>>61494782
That would work

>>61495951
Why in the flying fuck would you use a partitioned drive as a bootable drive. That is a risky move and you can see why.

I used my main USB drive with a few OSs and tons of installers and other random shit.
Except this time I used the Sata interface because lol no USB boot

I did not understand the consequences even existed. Microsoft is next level retarded for that.
Didn't lose data though.
>>
>>61495951
Oh no, how will I ever recover?

It looks like you found a bug in the Windows installer. Congratulations! You will however note that your scenario is very different from an already-installed Windows fucking up a USB drive for no reason.

No. It's why you should keep local backups of all your data: if shit like this happens, you just restore it from your backups

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
