You can recover +files as well complete devices. + +In case if finds sectors which simply cannot be recoverd, it writes an empty +sector to the outputfile and continues. If you're recovering a CD or a DVD and +the program cannot read the sector in "normal mode", then the program will try +to read the sector in "RAW mode" (without error-checking etc.). + +This toolkit also has a utility called 'mergebad': mergebad merges multiple +images into one. This can be usefull when you have, for example, multiple CD's +with the same data which are all damaged. In such case, you can then first use +recoverdm to retrieve the data from the damaged CD's into image-files and then +combine them into one image with mergebad. |
