-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2023-5f927bbd69 2023-02-28 02:54:32.464290 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : dd_rescue Product : Fedora EPEL 9 Version : 1.99.12 Release : 3.el9 URL : http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/ddrescue/ Summary : Fault tolerant "dd" utility for rescuing data from bad media Description : The dd_rescue is a utility similar to the system utility "dd" which copies data from a file or block device to another. The dd_rescue does however not abort on errors in the input file. This makes it suitable for rescuing data from media with errors, e.g. a disk with bad sectors.
This package includes dd_rhelp wrapper script facilitating data recovery. It is trying to make it so simple to recover as: dd_rhelp source target
Please note Fedora ships also GNU ddrescue, which probably gives faster and more reliable results rescuing whole disks. But still there might be some niche pattern of bad sectors, which might get better covered by dd_rescue and both tools might be used with sub-sequent runs cooperatively on the same disk image.
