How reliable is TFile recovery?

Newbie

I have some ROOT files, each containing an identically formatted TNtupleD. While the data within them seems to be fine, unfortunately, when I try to open these files, I get the error Warning in <TFile::Init>: file filename.root probably not closed, trying to recover .

I understand what this error means (and what I need to do to correct it), however, for future reference, I’m wondering how reliable the data is after recovery? ROOT says Warning in <TFile::Init>: successfully recovered 1 keys.

Without knowing anything further about these files, can I expect that all data has been successfully recovered and is “reliable”?

Please read tips for efficient and successful posting and posting code

You have no idea how big the file should be ? how many events should be in that file ? in that case I am afraid you have no way (I know of) to have an idea of what is missing. May be @pcanal has more ideas about it.
