If you’ve used CDs or DVDs for any length of time, chances are you’ve lost some of them to scratches or other damage. SubRosaSoft.com has released CDRestore 1.0, an application designed to create image files from scratched or surface damaged data CDs and DVDs. Replicas can then be produced using any CD/DVD burning utility, such as Roxio’s Toast or Apple’s Disc Burner.
Damaged optical media is difficult to copy in the Finder as unreadable tracks bring the process to a halt, requiring a manual approach to data rescue. CDRestore eases that task by creating copies with as much viable data as possible through an automated process.
SubRosaSoft.com CDRestore is available for $19.95 and more information is available on the company’s Web site.
