(synopsis "GNU ddrescue, a data recovery tool") |
|||
(description |
|||
"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. |
|||
|
|||
The basic operation of ddrescue is fully automatic. That is, you don't |
|||
have to wait for an error, stop the program, read the log, run it in |
|||
reverse mode, etc. |
|||
|
|||
If you use the logfile feature of ddrescue, the data is rescued very |
|||
efficiently (only the needed blocks are read). Also you can interrupt |
|||
the rescue at any time and resume it later at the same point. |
|||
|
|||
Automatic merging of backups: If you have two or more damaged copies of |
|||
a file, cdrom, etc, and run ddrescue on all of them, one at a time, with |
|||
the same output file, you will probably obtain a complete and error-free |
|||
file. This is so because the probability of having damaged areas at the |
|||
same places on different input files is very low. Using the logfile, |
|||
only the needed blocks are read from the second and successive copies.") |
