Sector Map Files

Sector map files are files that contain information about conditions of drive sectors, which may be good, bad, slow, and unstable. R-Studio for Linux estimates chances for successful file recovery basing on these files and avoiding unnecessary attempts to read bad sectors . Sector map files are crucial for multi-pass imaging .

R-Studio for Linux creates its own sector map files or can import such files created from other disk imaging programs. Currently R-Studio for Linux supports sector map files from HDDSuperClone and DDRescue .
