Intro

recover is a small utility that reads raw data from a disk image file or a disk device and extracts JPEG images.

I wrote it to extract images from a almost-broken memory card of a digital camera; it usually works well with digital camera storage devices because they are mostly not fragmented. Note that recover doesn't know anything about file systems so zero-fragmentation is a requirement.

To install just unpack the source and type make.

You also need to be able to access the device of the disk you want to use as the source media. For example if you want to use your Compact Flash reader you'll probably want to load related USB drivers (uhci and usb-storage modules) and SCSI disk driver.

Download

Latest release is 0.2

You can download it here: recover-0.2.tar.gz

Usage and examples

Supposing that your memory card is in your USB reader and that it's mapped to /dev/sda:

# dd if=/dev/sda of=memory_card.img
16000+0 records in
16000+0 records out
8192000 bytes transferred in 10.905510 seconds (751180 bytes/sec)
