RE: Formatted wrong hard-drive, keys lost? [ Reply ] By: Bernhard Reiter on 2022-05-27 08:04	[forum:8416]
Hi Notur, Kleopatra is a frontend to the crypto engine GnuPG. It usually saves data at %APPDATA%\gnupg and the key-material is in subdirectories below this, especially in private-keys-v1.d with file endings ".key" and the file pubring.kbx. Best, Bernhard

Formatted wrong hard-drive, keys lost? [ Reply ] By: Notur Business on 2022-05-25 09:59	[forum:8413]
Hi, I formatted the wrong hard-drive and in the process lost my Kleopatra-keys. I have run testdisk on it and recovered the entire drive, but it is 500 GB and all the file-names are changed. However it might be save-able, because I am hoping that the file-format of the keys is different. Does anyone what it is? If it is a .txt I am in for a long search, but if it is something else, it should be easier. Thanks!
