So I have people saying I should use ddrescue, and people saying I
should use testdisk. Please come to an agreement on how to best
recover
what I can from my stick of back-ups!
ddrescue is used to get the best possible copy of the contents.
Typically this is
used to create a disk image file. Testdisk is used to examine the
contents of a disk or
image file in the hope of recreating the missing or damaged structure
or locating
blocks of data for an important file.
See: <https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step>
for examples.
I did see this.
I've been busy trying to catch up on outdoor work, and could not get to
this properly today. I did give that web page a skim. It definitely
looks better than the testdisk man page. I will give it a good read
next week, when I'm adequately close to caught up outdoors.
