Data Rescue can support any file type, if it is able to be found in an HFS catalog. Such files will appear under the “Found Files” folder in the recovery list. For files which have been deleted (and therefore have no HFS catalog entry), Data Rescue supports finding files of a great many types by their content when doing a Deleted or Deep Scan. Such files will appear under the “Reconstructed Files” folder in the recovery list. Below is a list of the file types supported for Reconstructed Files. In addition to these, other file types not on this list may often be recoverable with the new FileIQ feature, using user-supplied sample files to teach Data Rescue about that type.
