GParted - might check/copy contents in possibly damaged fs/hardware into another storage media. scalpel - filesystem-independent and will carve files from FAT16, FAT32, exFAT, NTFS, Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, JFS, XFS, ReiserFS, raw partitions, etc. safecopy (compare to below utility) gddrescue - The gddrescue tool copies data from one file or block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue data in case of read errors.
