Taken from the Nkit wiki:
"Recovery Files
The concept of recovery files is that by saving the bare minimum of information from Redump good images. NKit can recover many modified images.
- GameCube other tools that modify these images scrub and move (sometimes reorder) the files in the filesystem. NKit recovery files are the appldr.bin (a handful are used across all images) and fst.bin (unique per image, NKit stores some header info in these files also).
- Wii - other tools remove unused blocks or scrub them by wiping unused blocks with 00 or FF bytes. It is common for Non-Data Partitions are also removed to save space. NKit recovery files consist of the channel and update partitions.

The recovery DAT file that has been attached above has been compiled by johnsanc. The DAT file contains checksum information (digital signatures) of the recovery files that he has. You can use the DAT file along with a rom manager such as clrmamepro or romulus to scan a directory of files and verify whether the files you have match the files listed in the database file.
