How to retry

Recovering, e.g. the RIFFs didn't work? You can retry without the need to search all device blocks again but using the magicsearch logfile as input instead, already containing all the interesting ipos numbers:

  $ retry.py /dev/sdb magicsearch.log RIFF

Restore a file manually

In order to recover a specific file, you can also invoke the appropriate file type recovery script manually:

  $ RIFF.py /dev/sdb 156326912
