Safecopy-1.2
April 13, 2009
Safecopy is a data recovery tool which tries to extract as much data as possible from a problematic (i.e. damaged sectors) source - like floppy drives, harddisk partitions, CDs, tape devices, ..., where other tools like dd would fail doe to I/O errors.
Notes:
Support for low level IO on CD and DVD drives has been fixed and enhanced, including correct detection of disk type and sector layout. The low level IO got more intelligent and uses drive resets now only when deemed necessary. Safecopy now also comes with a manpage for documentation.
Changes:
2009.04.13:
- Fixed disk detection on CD / DVD drives
- Correct sector address calculation in raw mode acces on different types of CDs
- Floppy low level IO now supports twaddle syscall
- Man page added to documentation
