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 "-l, --logfile-size" has been added.
* Largest blocks are now split first until logfile reaches
"--logfile-size" entries. (See the chapter "Algorithm" in the manual).
* The option "--retries" has been added as a synonym of "--max-retries".
* The option "--size" has been added as a synonym of "--max-size".
Regards,
Antonio Diaz, GNU ddrescue author and maintainer.
