That's an undelete-automation wrapper around btrfs restore... > ./btrfs-undelete /dev/sde1 ./foto /home/storage/BTRFS_RESTORE/ Searching > roots... > Trying root 389562368...

However, there's still some chance... ** IMPORTANT ** If you still have the filesystem mounted read-write, remount it read-only **IMMEDIATELY**, because every write reduces your chance at recovering any of the deleted files.
