myrescue is a program to rescue the still-readable data from a damaged harddisk, CD-ROM, DVD, flash drives, etc. It is similar in purpose to dd_rescue (or ddrescue), but it tries to quickly get out of damaged areas to first handle the not yet damaged part of the disk and return later.
Only use this tool against systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test — see the disclaimer.
Getting started
