ResearchBuzz: Firehose<p>From the Data Rescue Project: the Data Rescue Tracker. “The Data Rescue Tracker is a collaborative tool built to catalog existing public data rescue efforts so that we can coordinate better across initiatives. At this stage, you can use the tool to help reduce duplication of rescue efforts.

Simon Zerafa<p>Those of you outside of the US with cloud backups, perhaps as part of your overall backup strategy.</p><p>Where exactly is that cloud data physically stored? Inside the US perhaps?</p><p>Now imagine that US data isn't available for some odd reason. Perhaps an ongoing trade dispute between your country and the US, as a hypothetical scenario.</p><p>Now, further imagine that one of your other backups becomes unavailable.</p><p>Can you recover what is needed in short order? 🤨🤷‍♂️</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/321Backup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>321Backup</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DataRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataRecovery</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/InfoSec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InfoSec</span></a></p>
Marcus Adams<p>I'm not sure if this would run into the realm of piracy or not, hopefully not, but does anybody have DVDs of season 9 of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MASH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MASH</span></a> that I could get ISOs from before I spend money re-ordering it? Every other season so far has read just fine, but season 9's discs are cooked from age and my PC won't even recognize the name of the disc.</p><p>I'm about to fire up dvdisaster but I seriously doubt I'm going to get anywhere with the discs looking like this.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DataRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataRecovery</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DataHoarder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataHoarder</span></a></p>
DesertFOX<p>Another bad retro diskette! At first glance, this one seemed pretty much gone. None of my disk imaging tools were able to read it. Windows Explorer just crashed.</p><p>Only a low level KryoFlux dump managed to uncover the physical cause behind this: A corrupt root directory beyond any chance of repair. Luckily, both the file allocation tables as well as most of the data clusters were still in good shape. I used a hex editor to manually recover all the files from the valid tracks. It worked!</p><p>I guess these games are nothing special, but it still made me happy to pull usable data and working files from such a destroyed file system!</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/FloppyDisk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FloppyDisk</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/KryoFlux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KryoFlux</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/DataRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataRecovery</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/MSDOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MSDOS</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/86Box" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>86Box</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/FAT12" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FAT12</span></a></p>
