Hello guys
I did a really bad think. Instead of copying the latest mdf and ldf files of my sql server to the backup destistaion folder I did the opposite( copied the old files to my current working dir) ending up having the old files.I must mention that old files are smaller than latest ones. I installed demo version of R-Studio NTFS in another hard drive which I booted from and scanned the HDD my wanted files were into it. R-Studio found 5 mdf files and 6 ldf. In the DATA folder there were 6 mdf and 6 ldf. I believe that one of the mdf stayed untouched and the ldfs maybe beacuse they are log files were all changed. So I end up having according to my poor mind the rest of the latest mdf files, which R-Studio found. Does anyone know if am I right? If yes how can I recover them and merge them?
