I recently made a big boo-boo and reinstalled windows and lost all of my files I thought I had backed up. I used a data recovery program to get back lots of .7z backup archives I had of my files.
The problem is the .7z files i recovered "can't be opened as archive" which makes me think there may be some corrupt headers or some corrupt data. How can I salvage what I can from within these 7zip archives? Is anything possible? I'm sure there's lots of (or at least a little bit of) good data inside there.

Did you use one of those USB to hard drive adapters by any chance?

You'll need to replace tar with the actual file type.
Try:
Code: Select all
cpio -ivd -H tar < archive.tarRe: salvaging corrupted 7zip files
