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:
* The new option '--same-file' has been added. It allows infile and
outfile to be the same file or device. This can be used to test the
writing ability of a drive. It can also be used to copy part of a file
to another location inside or beyond the end of the same file if
'--input-position' and '--output-position' are different.
Regards,
Antonio Diaz, GNU ddrescue author and maintainer.
