Please, test it and report any bugs you find.
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:
* Ddrescue now tries to create a backup copy of the mapfile, with the
name <mapfile>.bak, every time it is going to overwrite a fsynced mapfile.
* On startup, ddrescue now verifies that the backup copy of the
mapfile (if it exists) is not a non-regular file, and that its name is
not the same as infile or outfile.
Regards,
Antonio Diaz, GNU ddrescue author and maintainer.
