This functionality is on the roadmap but it's not the immediate priority. Access files and partitions of disk images created from undamaged drives using Rescuezilla Image Explorer's future ability to mount partitions from raw "dd" whole disk images (task #142)) without ever needing to touch the command-line. ![]() Recover important files using a future easy-to-use frontend to the extremely powerful "TestDisk" (task #12) (even if the salvaged data is otherwise extremely damaged/corrupted).Use Rescuezilla to restore the part (or all) of the raw "dd" disk image to a new disk (task #142).The existing "Ddrescue-GUI" tool is still too complex so cleanly integrating ddrescue functionality into Rescuezilla's wizard makes a lot of sense.Īfter a user makes a "data salvage" backup, the image would simply work with the rest of Rescuezilla: This powerful ddrescue tool has always been available in Rescuezilla, but it's an intimidating command-line tool. This leads to every accessible byte on the drive being safely salvaged. It tries to copy as much data as it can initially (skipping large chunks of data when errors are found), then goes back and keeps retrying until as much data as possible is copied. Fortunately there is an extremely powerful program known as GNU ddrescue, which is carefully designed to be robustly to such errors. Typical disk imaging software (like partclone utility used in Rescuezilla and Clonezilla) isn't particularly robust to the errors produced by dying hard drives leading to the backup failing very quickly. Users often want to copy their data on the dying drives to a fresh drive (or at least recover their most important files). Overtime some hard drives and CDs/DVDs/BR optical media tend to develop "bad blocks" and other issues. Once installed, open DDRescue-GUI from Ubuntu Dash.As per the roadmap, Rescuezilla should add "data salvage" functionality.
