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.

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 options "-1, --log-rates" and "-2, --log-reads" have been 
added. Comments and suggestions about the format of the files produced 
by these options are welcome.

  * The short name of option "--generate-mode" has been changed to "-G".

Antonio Diaz, GNU ddrescue author and maintainer.
