| Summary: I/O error aware data recovery and copying utility | |
GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file or block device (hard disk, CD-ROM, etc.) to another, trying hard to rescue data in case of read errors. It is more memory and time efficient than dd_rescue+dd_rhelp on disks with more than a few hundred bad sectors.
GPL-2.0-or-later
* Sun Jan 04 2026 Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@inai.de>
- Update to release 1.30
* Improved reading/positioning mechanism for hard disks with a
dead head
* Added a new option ``-N``/``--no-sweep``, which disables the
reading of skipped areas. The short name ``-N`` has been
reassigned from option ``--no-trim`` to option ``--no-sweep``.
Option ``--no-trim`` is no longer recommended because trimming
has now a higher probability of finding good data.
* Pass 2 now copies only the blocks adjacent to at least one
finished block. The trimming pass now trims only the edges
adjacent to a finished block. The goal is to delimit the bad
area as a whole.
* The initial skip size now defaults to ``infile_size / 32_768``
instead of ``infile_size / 100_000``.
* Added a new option ``-H``/``--make-test``, which creates a
mapfile for the test mode of ddrescue based on the disc
geometry given.
* Tue Oct 07 2025 Frantisek Simorda <frantisek.simorda@suse.com>
- update to 1.29:
* The new option `--continue-on-errno` has been added.
* If ddrescue exits because of a fatal read error, it now prints
the value of the variable `errno` so that it can be used as
argument to `--continue-on-errno`.
* When using `--ask` and `--verbose`, print rescue options before
asking user.
* Option `--log-reads` now records the value of errno if
different from EIO.
* The effect of option `-O`/`--reopen-on-error` has been extended
to all phases.
* It has been documented in the manual that `--reopen-on-error`
may be needed when using `--continue-on-errno`.
* The chapter "Syntax of command-line arguments" has been added
to the manual.
* Two examples of combined use with lziprecover have been added
to the manual. (One of them uses the new Forward Error
Correction (FEC) feature of lziprecover).
* It has been documented in the manual that option `-b` of
ddrescuelog is position dependent.
* Thu Feb 08 2024 Andrea Manzini <andrea.manzini@suse.com>
- update to 1.2.8:
* Rename option '--verify-on-error' to '--check-on-error'.
Rename option '--verify-input-size' to '--check-input-size'.
Remove synonym '--exit-on-error'.
* Issue a final fsync to prevent early exit if kernel caches
writes.
* Show mapfile names at verbosity == 0.
* Tue Jan 24 2023 Paolo Stivanin <info@paolostivanin.com>
- update to 1.2.7:
* New option '-W, --compare-before-write'.
* Remove synonym option '--direct'.
* Sat May 07 2022 Marcus Meissner <meissner@suse.com>
- use https source urls
* Sat Apr 02 2022 Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@inai.de>
- Update to release 1.26
* Domain mapfiles may now contain unordered and overlapping
blocks when '-L, --loose-domain' is specified as long as no
block overlaps with other block of different status.
* ddrescue now exits with status 1 on fatal read errors.
* The option synonyms '--*-logfile' and '--pause' have been
removed and are no longer recognized.
* Sun Apr 26 2020 Andreas Stieger <andreas.stieger@gmx.de>
- update to 1.25:
* Large numbers in messages (like device sizes) are now printed
in groups of 3 digits separated by underscore '_' characters to
make them more readable
* Fri Feb 14 2020 Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@inai.de>
- Update to release 1.25~rc1
* In rescue mode, join non-finished subsectors read from mapfile.
* Thu Feb 13 2020 Stanislav Brabec <sbrabec@suse.com>
- Fix invalid RPM group.
* Thu Oct 17 2019 Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@inai.de>
- Update to release 1.25~pre1
* Make use of ftruncate if the output file supports it.
