NAME

       dares - rescue files from damaged CDs and DVDs

SYNOPSIS

       dares -i image -s path [-h2i h2i_file] [-a] [-m] [-llogfile]
       dares-qt [-i image] [-s path] [-h2i h2i_file] [-a] [-m] [-llogfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Dares  scans  a  CD/DVD  image  or a CD/DVD and tries to find files. It does not depend on
       filesystem information, but instead uses the Magic library to  identify  files.  Doing  it
       this way Dares can recover files even when the filesystem (ISO-9660 or UDF) on the disc is
       damaged and cannot be mounted anymore.

       Dares can use H2cdimage  (ftp://ftp.heise.de/pub/ct/ctsi/h2cdimage.zip)  files  to  rescue
       data from heavily damaged optical discs.

OPTIONS

       -i     CD/DVD image file or device.

       -s     Directory where the rescued  files shall be stored.

       -h2i   Optional h2i file for the CD/DVD image.

       -a     Store all found files without any user interaction.

       -m     Use Mime types instead of a description.  -l Logfile (default: dares.log)
