The 'restored' directory

The 'restored' directory will be created in the directory where you start hfsprescue or you set with the '-d' parameter. Your files and directories will be recovered to this directory.

When you use '--one-file', then the restored file will be written directly to the 'recovered' directory without any path.

After step 6 has been completed, there are also a few additional files and directories, created by hfsprescue.

Directory: restored/newroot/recovered/

You find your recovered files here.

Directory: restored/newroot/x_directory_problem/

It was not possible to link the files and directories to their parent directory. You will find here files too.

Directory: restored/newroot/x_unknown/

No valid parent directory has been found. Maybe you will find here already deleted files. The files in this directories can be invalid.

Files in restored/newroot/

INFO.TXT

Just an info file for you.

recovered-files.txt, x_directory_problem-files.txt, x_unknown-files.txt

The contents of those files is just a list of the files in the corresponding directory. Useful when you need an overview of the restored files.
