GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file or block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue data in case of read errors.

GNU Ddrescuelog is a tool that manipulates ddrescue logfiles, shows logfile contents, converts logfiles to/from other formats, compares logfiles, tests rescue status, and can delete a logfile if the rescue is done.

The homepage is at http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html

Test versions of ddrescue are released in lzip format. In the improbable case that lzip is not packaged in your distro, you can download it from http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip.html


Changes in this version:

* The new option "-w, --ignore-write-errors", which makes fill mode ignore write errors, has been added. This is useful to avoid ddrescue exiting because of new errors developing while wiping the good sectors of a failing drive.


Regards,
Antonio Diaz, GNU ddrescue author and maintainer.
