Ddrescue

From MEPIS Documentation Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

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.

Usage: the essential syntax is simple, just type as root: 

ddrescue <drive one> <drive two>

For details, look at the man page, and full documentation can be had by pasting info:/ddrescue to the location line in konqueror. Or you can type at command line: 

info ddrescue

Note that you may have to install the command info first.
