DESCRIPTION¶
Dares scans a CD/DVD image or a CD/DVD and tries to find files. It does
not depend on filesystem information, but instead uses the
Magic
library to identify files. Doing it this way
Dares can recover
files even when the filesystem (ISO-9660 or UDF) on the disc is damaged and
cannot be mounted anymore.
Dares can use H2cdimage (
ftp://ftp.heise.de/pub/ct/ctsi/h2cdimage.zip) files to
rescue data from heavily damaged optical discs.
OPTIONS¶
- -i
- CD/DVD image file or device.
- -s
- Directory where the rescued files shall be stored.
- -h2i
- Optional h2i file for the CD/DVD image.
- -a
- Store all found files without any user interaction.
- -m
- Use Mime types instead of a description. -l Logfile
(default: dares.log)
