That tool is developed to be better than dd for copying data off bad drives. dd_rescue can also walk backwards. If your system freezes when reaching bad blocks then you can write down the block and tell dd_rescue to copy the disk backwards up to that block. > Greetings Tobias > _______________________________________________ > linux-lvm mailing list > linux-lvm@sistina.com > http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm > read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
