Сохраненная страница Safecopy is a data recovery tool which tries to extract as much data as possible from a problematic (i.e. damaged sectors) sources. (28 Kb)

Safe copying of files and partitions.

Idea:

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.
