magicrescue
Notes
Magic Rescue opens devices for reading, scans them 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. It works on any file system, but on very fragmented file systems it can only recover the first chunk of each file. These chunks are sometimes as big as 50MB, however.
To invoke magicrescue, you must specify at least one device and the -d and -r options. See the "USAGE" section in this manual for getting started.
