Magic Rescue scans a block device for file types it knows how to
|
||
|
|
recover and calls an external program to extract them. It looks
|
||
|
|
at "magic bytes" in file contents, so it can be used both as an
|
||
|
|
undelete utility and for recovering a corrupted drive or partition.
|
||
|
|
As long as the file data is there, it will find it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It works on any file system, but on very fragmented file systems
|
||
|
|
it can only recover the first chunk of each file. Practical
|
||
|
|
experience (this program was not written for fun) shows, however,
|
||
|
|
that chunks of 30-50MB are not uncommon.
