NTFS Partition got merged in Time Machine I have an external storage drive where i had two type of partitions as NTFS and exFAT. To take backup from my macbook, i formated my exFAT and selected for the Time Machine. Then both partitions become one and the data i had in NTFS also gone. How can i get back my data in NTFS. Those are very important to me.
/dev/disk2 (external, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *1.0 TB     disk2
   1:                        EFI ⁨EFI⁩                     209.7 MB   disk2s1
   2:                 Apple_APFS ⁨Container disk3⁩         1000.0 GB  disk2s2
As you can see from the output the APFS partition created by TM uses the whole disk, the NTFS partition is gone. Depending on whether you already created a backup and other factors the data may or may not recoverable by a data recovery service.
