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.

This version is also available in lzip format. If your distro doesn't
yet distribute the lzip program, you can download it from
http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip.html
Changes in this version:
* The new option "-O, --timeout", which sets the maximum time allowed
since the last successful read, has been added.
* Maximum skip size is now limited to 1% of infile size or 1 GiB
(whichever is smaller), rounded to the next multiple of sector size.
* The option "-v, --verbose" now increases verbosity if repeated.
* Initial skip size is now shown at verbosity level 1 and above.
* Most user-defined parameters are now shown at verbosity level 2 and
above.
* Verbosity level 2 and above adds two lines of initial status
showing current position, current sector, and size of last block in logfile.

Antonio Diaz, GNU ddrescue author and maintainer.
