safecopy
Safecopy is a data recovery tool which tries to extract as
much data as possible from a seekable, but problematic (i.e. damaged
sectors) source. The source includes removeable media (such as CDs,
DVDs, and Blu-ray) and hard disk partitions. The software will resort
to device
specific low level operations if necessary.
This software has the advantage that the recovery continues
even when I/O errors would stop other tools from
continuing. Normal copy tools like cat, cp or dd do not allow creation
of an image file from a disk or media device once the reading of a
sector has failed.
Features include:
- Provides more readable output than other recovery tools
- Resurrect a file from a mounted but damaged media, that
copy will fail on
- Create a filesystem image of a damaged disk or media
- Resurrect data as thoroughly or quickly as possible, or a
combination
- Resume data rescue operation at a later date with, or
without, badblocks output
- Find corrupted files on a partially successful rescued file
system
- Combine two partial images of rescued data without the
actual (damaged) source data
- Generic hardware access
- Specify block and skip sizes
- Incremental data rescuing
- Supports RAW access
