NAME

       tsk_recover - Export files from an image into a local directory

SYNOPSIS

       tsk_recover  [-vVae]  [  -f  fstype  ]  [  -i  imgtype ] [ -b dev_sector_size ] [ -o sector_offset ] [ -d
       dir_inum ] image [images] output_dir

DESCRIPTION

       tsk_recover recovers files to the output_dir from the image.  By default recovers only unallocated files.
       With flags, it will export all files.

       The arguments are as follows:

       -v     verbose output to stderr

       -V     Print version

       -a     Recover allocated files only

       -e     Recover all files (allocated and unallocated)

       -f fstype
              Specify the file system type.  Use '-f list' to list the supported  file  system  types.   If  not
              given, autodetection methods are used.

       -i imgtype
              The  format  of  the  image file, such as raw.  Use '-i list' to list the supported types.  If not
              given, autodetection methods are used.

       -b dev_sector_size
              The size (in bytes) of the device sectors.  If not given, autodetection methods are used.

       -o sector_offset
              Sector offset for a volume to recover (recovers only that volume) If not given,  will  attempt  to
              recover all volumes in image and save them to different folders.

       -d dir_inum
              Directory  inum to recover from (must also specify a specific partition using -o or there must not
              be a volume system)

       image [images]
              The disk or partition image to read, whose format is given with '-i'.  Multiple image  file  names
              can  be  given if the image is split into multiple segments.  If only one image file is given, and
              its name is the first in a sequence (e.g., as indicated by ending  in  '.001'),  subsequent  image
              segments will be included automatically.

       output_dir
              The directory in which to save recovered files.

EXAMPLES

       To recover only unallocated files from image.dd to the recovered directory:

            # tsk_recover ./image.dd ./recovered
