(F-42; stand-alone workstation; Gnome)
Just before trying to upgrade from F-40 to F-41, I did a back-up to a
USB 3 stick.
The upgrade failed.
A local friend gave me a windows-10 box to use. Until I could get the
Fedora workstation adequately restored, I needed to get a few things off
the F-40 back-up onto the windows-10 box.
Attempts to re-install Fedora from Fedora-42 Live Workstation appear to
have completely destroyed the partitioning of the hard drive.
When I inserted the back-up stick into the port, windows-10 told me to
use defender to scan the stick. I did so. I asked for a scan only. I
did not want defender to attempt any repair or other changes. Defender
reported no problems.
But now when I insert the back-up stick into a port on either tower,
it's claimed the back-up stick is un-formatted and empty. Fedora's
"disks" and windows-10 (file browser and defender) agree.
I do not recall which file system the back-up stick was formatted with
beforehand.
How can I recover the back-up (without cost)?
Note that I'm needing to recover the back-up as a whole, not just a file
or 2 from a back-up.
