Summary : Fault tolerant "dd" utility for rescuing data from bad media
URL : http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/ddrescue/
License : GPL+
Description : The dd_rescue is a utility similar to the system utility "dd" which copies
: data from a file or block device to another. The dd_rescue does however
: not abort on errors in the input file. This makes it suitable for
: rescuing data from media with errors, e.g. a disk with bad sectors.
:
: This package includes dd_rhelp wrapper script facilitating data
: recovery. It is trying to make it so simple to recover as:
: dd_rhelp source target
:
: Please note Fedora ships also GNU ddrescue, which probably gives
: faster and more reliable results rescuing whole disks.
: But still there might be some niche pattern of bad sectors,
: which might get better covered by dd_rescue and both tools
: might be used with sub-sequent runs cooperatively on the same disk image.
