All your getting is a raw recovery, UFS explorer is not reading anything other than file headers. And u could have used "get data back", "ontrack easy recovery", and any other utility that will do what is called a raw recovery.

There is no way that ufs explorer can actually read the snap os because the superblock magic number that ufs explorer identifies ufs file systems as is not located in the same place on the snap and is not the same.

So what you are going to end up with is a recovery with no file names other than 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg. This is ok if you know exactly which type of file you need, and if you only need a hand full or so.

And if it is missing the header for a particular file, then you won't see that file recovered.
