'''dd_rescure''', is an an advanced evolution of [[dd]], a command line program that has been ported only for UNIX/Linux; dd_rescure uses a complex series of flags to allow the user to image or write data from and to [[raw image file]]s. It is a tool more suit that update to you in real time with the status of the operation visualizing some important info.

== Example ==

Here is a common dd_rescue command:

'''UNIX/Linux'''

dd_rescue /dev/hda myfile.img

== Cautions ==

Don't us if= and of= like [[dd]] becouse dd_rescure it doesn't work!

* [[Blackbag]]
* [[dcfldd]]

		+
		+	'''STDOUT'''
		+
		+	A large difference between '''[[ddrescue]]''' and '''dd_rescue''' is that '''dd_rescue''' can pipe output to STDOUT whereas '''[[ddrescue]]''' can only transfer block/file to block/file.
		+
		+	One example of this usage would be transfering a disk image over the network using ssh.
		+
		+	<pre>dd_rescue /dev/sda1 - \| ssh user@remote.host "cat - > /remote/destination/file.img"</pre>
		+
		+	Another example would be adding compression to an image file on the fly.
		+
		+	<pre>dd_rescue /dev/sda1 - \| bzip2 > /dir/file.img.bz2</pre>
