Windows tool like dd_rescue

January 19th, 2020, 16:09

Hello,

I was wondering if there is some programm for Windows which work like dd_rescue? In combination with the USB stabilizer or Guardonix could that be quite handy to do multi-pass imaging. Thatfor the tool would need to keep track of the already imaged sectors and fill the gaps in an 2nd pass with a longer timeout.

Is there something that can do this trick?

I've tested the deepspsar usb stabilizer with ddrescue running under cygwin in windows and it works fine.

OK thanks, that is a good tip! Was not thinking on cygwin...

... interesting but as it looks that tool does the passes automatically one after another. That would not really help in that case. I need to finnish one pass, have the tool wait till I change the settings on the USB stabilizer and start then manually a 2nd pass.

Anyway - thanks for the tip.
