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.

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.

The homepage is at http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html


Changes in this version:

  * The new option "-J, --verify-on-error" has been added. It verifies, 
after each read error, that the input device is still returning 
consistent data.

  * The long name of option "-d" has been changed to "--idirect".

Antonio Diaz, GNU ddrescue author and maintainer.
