Verify for APFS snapshots and you could have the info in a format you may mount and extract to a backup or again to the present filesystem.
- Boot to restoration OS
- Begin Disk Utility
- Within the View menu – present all gadgets and present snapshots
- Mount your Information quantity
- Connect your exterior drive and mount it in Disk Utility
- Discover the earliest snapshot (or the one most probably to comprise the info earlier than deletion)
- Mount that snapshot
- Stop Disk Utility and begin Terminal.app
- All of the mounts will exist – copy the recordsdata from /Volumes/Information@snap-123456789 to /Volumes/external_drive
If you cannot discover a snapshot, you could have to run dd
on non-synthesized disk – I get both Permission denied or Invalid argument after I try to have dd
learn from any synthesized gadgets.
bash-3.2# dd if=/dev/disk0s2 of=/Volumes/bmike/restoration/foo512.dd bs=1m depend=512 512+0 recordsin 512+0 recordsout 536870912 bytes transferred in 45.095041 secs (11905320 bytes/sec)
Except you may convey a special device compiled and that runs from an hooked up disk in restoration mode, you’re restricted by design to entry this “storage” off machine.
Apple Safe Enclave and AES engine forestall exterior entry to the info saved on the interior storage. Any restoration software program must request the drive be unlocked and the info to be decrypted between the storage and the processor. On your plan to work, you’ll have to defeat the info safety {hardware} to get on the storage even in DFU mode.
