As it has been suggested, there are interesting tools in the
ports collection. I'll post my "famous list" again. Among them,
note ddrescue and dd_rescue. But base system tools such as the
fetch program can help.
System:
dd
fsck_ffs
clri
fsdb
fetch -rR <device>
recoverdisk (!)
Ports:
ddrescue
dd_rescue
ffs2recov
magicrescue
testdisk
The Sleuth Kit:
fls
dls
ils
autopsy
scan_ffs
recoverjpeg
foremost
photorec
Those programs are not ordered in any way.
