jpg "We cant open this file" in Windows 10 after HDD data recovery

[robbiesick]

Good day!

So I accidentally formatted my Important files partition and try EASEUS data recovery to recover all my files. After recovering some of the files or almost all of them cannot be opened properly like this jpg it says "we cant open this" is there a fix for this?

While those files may appear to be "recovered", they are probably corrupt or partial files.
With data recovery like that, anything more complex than ASCII text files is always a crapshoot.

What is NOT useless is an actual backup.

Without a backup, your data is ALWAYS at risk. Not just a mistake in partitioning, but also virus, dead drive, sudden power loss, etc, etc.

Data recovery tools is like buying car insurance after the cheerleader blows a redlight and totals your car.
Backups is getting that car insurance before.
