Overview

This release of Blade has a number of new features and improvements.  We have added 8 new Recovery Profiles to the Global Recovery Database, as well as releasing some new Professional Modules.  We have also released a new 3GP/MPEG-4/ISO Base Media Format Intelli-Carve™ Recovery Profile for the recovery of MP4/3GP video files.

We have made some minor updates to the user interface of Blade to make it easier to identify Global, Personal and Intelli-Carve™ Recovery Profiles.  As you can see from Figure 1, different types of recovery profiles are represented by different icons.

We have made a number of changes to the Recovery Profiles to add additional functionality.  Figure 2 shows the new Personal Profile screen.  In the File Header section, we have added a new field for the number of bytes to the Start of the File (Bytes to SOF).  This value can be positive or negative and represents where the start of the file is in relation to the File Header Signature.  This takes into account data where there is a recognisable pattern or structure x bytes into the file, but no static header exists.

We have added a secondary File Landmark section for additional data validation.  We have put this to good use for the recovery of Microsoft Office 2007 documents.

...

We have added a new Professional Recovery Module for the recovery and deconstruction of INFO2 records.  This recovery module has a number of output options.  The profile recovers INFO2 records relating to deleted files and writes the various fields out to a number of different formats.  Figure 3 shows the options which are available for this module.
