Totus Copy is a utility for transferring data off of a failing hard drive
Totus Copy is a utility for transferring data off of a failing hard drive. OS X has a number of safety features built into it's copy functions, if it detects an I/O error or a stalled read the transfer will fail. OS X also gets file information for all files before it even copies the first one. While these are amazing features to prevent further damage to a hard drive it makes it very difficult to transfer data.

Totus Copy will scan a failing hard drive and recover the files from it onto a separate functional hard drive. It does this by using a very gentle non-intrusive scanning method. Unlike other transfer utilities there is no timeout for file copies. If the data is readable Totus Copy will transfer it. Although this will cause more damage to your hard drive it has a high success rate of retrieving data.

Main features of Totus Copy:

Ignore invisible files and applications, which increases the chance of recovering your important data.

Target files of a specific kind, such as music, pictures, or documents.

Error correcting transfer protocols with no timeout limit.

Transfer partial files, if 99% of a important document is damage other utilities will fail while Totus Copy will copy that 99%.

Handles files one by one instead of in large batches that are more likely to fail.

Target a specific directory to recovery only files that you need.

Scans directories as needed to minimize failures.

Recreates bundles and directories as opposed to trying to transfer them.

Requirements of Totus Copy:

A failing hard disk that still mounts

Limitations of Totus Copy:

The demo is limited to trasfers of 500MBs.

WARNING: Totus Copy can cause further damage to a failing hard drive. Anytime data is accessed on a failing hard drive that drive can become more damaged. Please make sure to read all disclaimers associated with this software before using it.
