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

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

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


Changes in this version:

  * In fill mode, the location data is now written as one line without 
final newline to ease finding it with simple text search tools.

  * Fill mode no longer requires a seekable infile. Commands like
      ddrescue -F- <(printf "BAD-SECTOR ") outfile mapfile
    are now possible.


Regards,
Antonio Diaz, GNU ddrescue author and maintainer.
