Aaru is a fully featured media dump management solution. You usually know media dumps as disc images, disk images, tape
|
|
images, etc.
|
|
|
|
With Aaru you can identify a media dump, extract files from it (for supported filesystems), compare two of them, create
|
|
them from real media using the appropriate drive, create a sidecar metadata with information about the media dump, and a
|
|
lot of other features that commonly would require you to use separate applications.
