Compared on data recovery software

Purpose: RecuperaBit attempts to reconstruct file system structures and recover files.
Filesystem support: The project currently supports only NTFS.
Recovery scenarios: It attempts directory reconstruction when the partition table is missing, partition boundaries are unknown, metadata is partially overwritten, or the filesystem was quickly formatted.
Installation: The README gives `pip install recuperabit` and `uv tool install recuperabit` as installation methods.
Disk images: The command line takes a bitstream image of a disk or partition and automatically determines partition start sectors.
Recovery and export: Files can be restored individually or recursively, and partition contents can be exported in CSV or body file format.
Disk handling: The project says it does not modify the disk image, but reads some parts multiple times; using it on a damaged physical drive may worsen the situation or cause an I/O error.
Scan save file: An optional save file stores scan results and can speed later analysis; the `-w` option forces it to be overwritten.
Known limitation: RecuperaBit currently does not work with compressed files on an NTFS filesystem.
Runtime: The README says it runs with standard cPython and that PyPy may increase speed using its JIT compiler.
License: The project is released under the GNU GPLv3.
Intended use: The repository describes RecuperaBit as a tool for forensic file system reconstruction.
