NAME
       dd_rescue - copies data from one file (or block device) to another

SYNOPSIS
       dd_rescue [options] infile outfile

DESCRIPTION
       This  manual page documents briefly the dd_rescue command.  This manual
       page was written for the Debian distribution because the original  pro‐
       gram does not have a manual page.

       dd_rescue  is  a program that copies data from one file or block device
       to another, it is a tool to help you to save data from  crashed	parti‐
       tion.   It  tries  to  read and if it fails it will go on with the next
       sectors, where tools like dd will  fail.	 If  the  copying  process  is
       interrupted  by	the  user  it  is possible to continue at any position
       later.  It can copy backwards.
