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 shows all sizes in rescue mode; non-tried, 
non-trimmed, non-scraped, bad-sector and finished.

  * The short name '-Z' has been assigned to option '--max-read-rate'.
