It recovers files from NTFS and FAT (including FAT16/12) volumes, and can carve files by signature when the filesystem is damaged (RAW, PSD, RAR). It also rebuilds fragmented/damaged JPEGs, lets you search by filename, and copies in phases so it reads the healthy areas first and doesn’t stress a failing disk.
I’ve tested it on a real hard drive that Windows couldn’t read, and it was able to recover files from it. That’s still limited testing, so this is a 0.1.0 beta: I’d recommend working from a disk image and not relying on it as your only recovery attempt.
Built with Python, runs on Windows, MIT license. I’d really appreciate feedback from anyone who tries it on real cases, and I’m happy to answer questions about how it works.
