Description

Readable data can be copied out of damaged disks, optical media, or failing storage while handling read errors more carefully than a normal copy. This is useful for recovery attempts before a device fails completely.

It is a command-line data recovery tool. Users should recover to a separate healthy disk and avoid writing to the damaged source media during recovery work.
