Convert ddrescue to Deepspar image

April 1st, 2020, 11:30

I usually use ddrescue to image disks with some custom scripts and tools, and then process the image with R-Studio. It would be great to incorporate the ddrescue map into R-Studio to identify partially corrupt, but it only supports Deepspar images. Is there some way to convert a raw image + map to a deepspar format?

(If you could point me to a description of the deepspar format I could try to write a converter/exporter myself)

If the .rdr format used by R-Studio tracks bad sectors, I could possibly convert to that format. Maybe I'll simulate/image a bad disk and see if I can reverse engineer the format. Any tips?
