safecopy Description

A free and open source tool for recovering data from damaged sources safecopy is an open source data recovery tool which tries to extract as much data as possible from a problematic (i.e. damaged sectors) source - like floppy drives, CDs, tape devices, harddisk partitions, ..., where other tools like dd would fail doe to I/O errors.A main problem with damaged storage hardware is, that once you get an unrecoverable IO error further reading from the file / device often fails until the file has been closed and re-opened.The normal copy tools like cat, cp or dd do not allow creation of an image file from a disk or CD-ROM once reading of a sector failed.Safecopy tries to get as much data from the source as possible, even resorting to device specific low level operations if applicable. What's New in This Release: · Test suite scripts have been rewritten to be more portable. · Some fixes in documentation.
