Free recovers data from software for linux

The mkCDrec utilities are optional for mkCDrec itself, but are an added value for rescue and recovery purposes.

The utilities are staticly compiled and include parted, memtest, partimage, gpart, and recover. Memtest86 is also available for memory testing.

To improve the added value of your recovery/rescue CD-ROM. You will notice that links from mkCDrec CD-ROM are foreseen to the /cdrom/utilities part of the CD-ROM and that man pages of these tools are already available within mkCDrec main toolset.

Without installing the utilities you cannot use them (obvious), but it will not break any other functionality of the mkCDrec tools. Therefore, a full restore remains possible (and disk cloning too), but you will not be able to resize a partition afterwards to name something.

Most of these utilities were compiled as static binaries, therefore, you can use those tools seperately too. If you know any tool which could useful to be included, please let me know... Since mkCDrec_utils_v0.5.7 you will notice that mkCDrec will use isolinux to boot from the CD-ROM instead of using syslinux floppy boot emulation.

But, this will only work if you use mkCDrec_v0.5.7 (or higher) as isolinux was first introduced in v0.5.7.

Parted

The famous Partition Editor of GNU software. The User Manual of parted is already part of mkCDrec.

Memtest

An excellent memory testing tool.

Partition Image

A tool to make/restore partition of msdos/vfat/ext2/reiserfs file systems. The primary purpose to include this tool is to allow a restore of old partition images made by this tool.

Gpart

Guess partition does what it implies. It can even recover destroyed partition tables, and therefore, maybe preventing a full restore. Useful in case if you do not make a mkcdrec on a regular basis.

Recover

An excellent tool to edit an EXT2 file system to recover lost files.

e2salvage

e2salvage is a utility which tries to recover a data from damaged ext2 partition. It may be used when e2fsck does not recover the broken ext2 filesystem. Before trying this tool read the man page (man e2salvage).

ext2resize

ext2resize, ext2prepare and ext2online are useful tools. ext2resize can increase (or decrease) the size of an unmounted ext2 filesystem. Be aware for ext2online one need a kernel patch (not likely installed). By the way, ext2resize does work too on an Ext3 filesystem! Be aware, one needs to apply S. Tweedies kernel patch (ext3) and an updated ext2 filesystem e2fprogs-1.20 or higher (which are ext3 aware). Last 2 requirements are of course only needed in case if you want to work with ext3 filesystems.

memtest86

Memtest86 is thorough, stand alone memory test for x86 architecture computers. BIOS based memory tests are only a quick check and often miss many of the failures that are detected by Memtest86.

chntpw

The offline NT password editor (chntpw) is a little program wich enables you to view and change passwords in a Windows NT SAM user database. For example,

Installation

# cd mkcdrec; tar zxvf mkCDrec_v0.7.9_utils.tar.gz
# ls -l utilities

GNU DDD is a graphical front-end for command-line debuggers such as GDB, DBX, WDB, Ladebug, JDB, XDB, the Perl debugger, the bash debugger, or the Python debugger.

Besides "usual front-end features such as viewing source texts, DDD has become famous through its interactive graphical data display, where data structures are displayed as graphs.

recoverPhotos is a program that recovers digital images from camera memory cards that have been formatted or damaged.
This program relies on the fact that most photos are composed of contiguous sectors. If you tend to delete a lot of photos before a format, then you might not have very good success. But if you are like me: who reformats every time) then you fill get most of your pictures back.
This program has only been tested with a 20d. Any success stories are welcome.
HOW TO USE
To run this program I recommend you first copy the contents of the card to a file in your machine. The easiest way is to use the dd command.
Instructions:
- Connect the camera or the flashcard to the computer.
- Check what is the mount point for your camera or the flashcard. You can use the mount command for this. For example in my computer the flashcard is mounted as device /dev/sdc1
dmg@platinum recoverPhotos]$ mount
[...]
/dev/sdc1 on /media/EOS_DIGITAL type vfat ...
[...]
Now, use dd to copy the flashcard to a file. For example, this command copies the contents of my memory card to a file called /tmp/card.bytes (You might need to run this command as root).
dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=/tmp/card.bytes
Make sure the device name (in this case /dev/sdc1) is correct!
The resulting file should have the same size as the flashcard.
./recoverPhotos /tmp/card.bytes
and check the output. Hopefully you will have a bunch of photos in the current directory. Run the program without parameters to see all the options available.
CANON USERS
If you use a camera that uses the custom function "Add Decision Data" (CF18 in the D20), and you are 100% sure it was on when you took the photos, then make sure you specify the --canonADD option. The option is not critical (it is not part of the photo), but the data is there if you want to recover it.
Enhancements:
- JPEG and Canon CR2 files are supported.

Xephyrus Data Structures Tag Library provides an easy way to create and manipulate the contents of common Java data-structures such as maps and lists.
Enhancements:
- The library was polished up.
- Several improvements were made and a few bugs were fixed.
- This version is aimed at Java 5 and JSP 2.0.

Data.FormValidators aim is to bring all the benefits of the perl module Data::FormValidator over to javascript, using the same input profiles (they can be dumped into javascript objects using the perl module Data::JavaScript.
Data.FormValidator library lets you define profiles which declare the required and optional fields and any constraints they might have.
The results are provided as an object which makes it easy to handle missing and invalid results, return error messages about which constraints failed, or process the resulting valid data.
IMPORTANT NOTE: JavaScript form validation is NOT a replacement for data validation in your backend scripts. This is the primary reason this module was written... so that it would be easy to share the same validation profile for both the frontend (via Data.FormValidator.js) and backend (via Data::FormValidator.pm).
Enhancements:
- A problem where some functions were not terminated by a semi-colon, so JavaScript compactors would end up creating broken code was fixed.

Sowa Data Capacitor is a unified Java API for accessing data in several different forms, such as XML, database or memory.

Installation:

Sowa Data Capacitor now not need any dependences (except ant), but itll propably have.

To build it you have to have:

* Apache Ant
* JDK of Java 2

To use it you have to have:

* JVM of Java 2

To build it just run build in base catalogue.

Version Convention

First noumber(maior) is api version, except 0 and 1 which is maturity change.
Itll change only if api is completly rewritten.

Second(minor) means small api(especcially adds) changes, which could break(but
not have to) plugins but not applications.

Third(patch) means some improvement, which not change api.

Dev means version for developer(of plugins optionally applications), Alpha
and Beta test release.

Last noumber mark order of releases.

Data::ICal::Entry::Alarm::Audio represents an audio alarm in an iCalendar file.

SYNOPSIS

my $valarm = Data::ICal::Entry::Alarm::Audio->new();
$valarm->add_properties(
attach => [ "ftp://host.com/pub/sounds/bell-01.aud", { fmttype => "audio/basic" } ],
# Dat*e*::ICal is not a typo here
trigger => [ Date::ICal->new( epoch => ... )->ical, { value => DATE-TIME } ],
);

$vevent->add_entry($valarm);

A Data::ICal::Entry::Alarm::Audio object represents an audio alarm attached to a todo item or event in an iCalendar file. (Note that the iCalendar RFC refers to entries as "components".) It is a subclass of Data::ICal::Entry and accepts all of its methods.

Data::TreeDumper::Renderer::GTK is a Gtk2::TreeView renderer for Data::TreeDumper.

SYNOPSIS

dumper_setup => {DISPLAY_PERL_SIZE => 1}
);

$treedumper->modify_font(Gtk2::Pango::FontDescription->from_string (monospace));
$treedumper->expand_all;

$window->add ($scroller);
$window->show_all;

+----Mup::TreeDumper

GTK-perl renderer for Data::TreeDumper.

This widget is the gui equivalent of Data::TreeDumper; it will display a perl data structure in a TreeView, allowing you to fold and unfold child data structures and get a quick feel for whats where. Right-clicking anywhere in the view brings up a context menu, from which the user can choose to expand or collapse all items.
