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.

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


Changes in this version:

  * The new option "--ask", which asks for confirmation before starting 
the copy, has been added.

  * Model and serial number of ATA devices are shown with "--ask" or 
"-vv" on Linux (if enabled).

  * The configure script now accepts the option "--enable-linux" to 
enable the compilation of linux-specific code.

Antonio Diaz, GNU ddrescue author and maintainer.
