I have two versions of a large set of files from two different filesystems with different recovery methods.
Set 1: Complete RAW data without any corruption, but the Metadata associated with each file is separated into text files without any association.
Set 2: Standard NTFS recovery results with Metadata, but a small portion of the set is irrecoverable.
How can I easily combine these to form the full original set, or is the only way doing it manually?
I thought maybe I could use a deduplicator type app to find which parts of set 2 are fully complete, and narrow down set 1 to only things I'm missing in set 2, but that still leaves a ton of manual work figuring out which files are likely the missing ones in set 2 and copying Metadata by hand sounds utterly painful.
