Short: Dave Hayne's disk recovery program Author: Dave Haynie Uploader: Varthall / Up Rough Type: disk/salv Version: 4 (13.6) Replaces: disk/salv/DiskSalv11_32.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos DiskSalv 4 Release 13.6 Freeware Copyright 1994-1995 by Dave Hayne DiskSalv is a disk recovery program. Its main purpose is to recover AmigaDOS disk integrity when a disk fails, or when impossible, the data from a failed disk. The name DiskSalv is short for Disk Salvage. Originally, DiskSalv's only function was to extract as much data from a failed disk as possible and copy this information to another disk. DiskSalv 4 has extended this function in various ways. It can recover deleted files from an undamaged disk, which is often a more common need than failure recovery. In many cases, DiskSalv can fix a damaged disk in-place, rather than copy out its contents to another volume. In these days of multi-gigabyte hard disk drives, that's an important concern. Finally, DiskSalv 4 adds a number of related features. It can find partitions on a disk, even when AmigaDOS can't. It can report errors on a disk without repairing them for you. It can backup an AmigaDOS volume to any AmigaDOS disk or tape device. DiskSalv 4 is now freeware, as posted by the author on amiga.org: hazydave, 02-05-2014, 08:27 PM "This never quite made it out as a freebie, but it should have. DiskSalv 4 is free for any use. While this is on "The Deathbed Vigil" DVD, it's not widely known. And it's probably pirated widely, but now that's legal. (...) This is public domain... all are free to copy this anywhere, etc." Thanks Dave! /Varthall
