48.5 GB, which makes me doubt the R-studio ability/correctness.Ĥ) Tried a few scenarios via HEX editor (HEX field) and DD in attempt to recover and mount:Ī) From the “probable” start address that R-studio gave me, I went back 262,144 bytes (should contain the TC keys ? ), marked this address, then went 262,144 and 21,747,836,480 bytes (20GB) forward. Not the case, my calculations resulted in approx. = byte 509,410,160,639 ( )Īssuming the file was stored on HDD in a contiguous manner, I though the difference between addresses would add up to approx. The most similar case to mine is this one:ģ) in R-studio, I found the absolute starting and ending addresses of the TC file. Getting the “Invalid password or not true crypt volume” even when tried to mount from the header backup.ģ) Started researching the problem. The file was listed in the Root ( ) and also in on of the Extra Found Files subfolders ( ).Īfter recovery, the file format was not the usual HEX file, but rather UNIX executable.
#WHAT IS A TC FILE FOR MAC#
Got most of the TC data back from backup, but I am sure there are a few files that were only in this container.ġ) Tried TestDisk to recover the original partitions scheme, NOT successful.Ģ) Used R-studio for Mac 4.6, it identified 20GB file with the same name as the original TC container file.
