In the Scanner features it outlines file recovery:
File Recovery
Once a damaged file is identified by the file system aware scan, you can attempt recovery of that file. *
File recovery supports uncompressed and unencrypted NTFS files.
Partial file recovery works by reassembling what's left of the file to a known good location on another disk.
An optional, full file recovery step is attempted by reading each unreadable sector multiple times, while sending the drive head through a pre-programmed set of head motion profiles. This has the effect of varying the direction and the velocity of the drive's head right before reading the unreadable sector, increasing the chance of one last successful read.
* File recovery is not guaranteed by any means, but stands a good chance of at least partially recovering a damaged file.
My DrivePool disks are encrypted with Bitlocker then added to the Pool. Is the implied behavior of File recovery not support repairs on Bitlocker volumes?
2. Is there any form of checksumming done by the scanner or the DrivePool soft? Basically a "poor mans" next gen file system feature?
3. (How) Does DrivePool and Scanner protect against so called "bit rot" or a flipped bit, especially when duplication is enabled (in theory that would allow a copy from known good copy, based on say checksum)?
