Description[edit]

Recovers files from disks with physical damage. Allows you to copy files from disks with problems such as bad sectors, scratches or that just give errors when reading data. The program will attempt to recover every readable piece of a file and put the pieces together. Using this method most types of files can be made useable even if some parts of the file were not recoverable in the end.

User Experiences[edit]

  • This method of recovering data should be used with awareness! It is suitable for data streams that are still useful when random parts are lacking, like video and audio recordings. Other data types easily become distorted and will loose their authenticity!
  • Unstoppable copier ignores files with long filenames (including path)

Development Activity[edit]
