    Summary: Magic Rescue is a file carving tool that uses "magic bytes" in a file contents to recover data
    Description: 
    Magic Rescue scans a block device 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. As long as the file data is there, it will find
    it.
    
    It works on any file system, but on very fragmented file systems it can only
    recover the first chunk of each file. Practical experience (this program was not
    written for fun) shows, however, that chunks of 30-50MB are not uncommon.
