Description

Copies data from failing disks, damaged media, or unreliable block devices while keeping a rescue log so interrupted recovery can continue later. It is designed to recover as much readable data as possible.

Use it before doing risky repairs on failing storage. Choose source and destination devices very carefully, because writing to the wrong disk can destroy data.

How to run

ddrescue

Commands: ddrescue
