ddrescue
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Data recovery tool

GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file or
block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue
data in case of read errors. Ddrescue does not truncate the output
file if not asked to. So, every time you run it on the same output
file, it tries to fill in the gaps.

  cygwin
  libgcc1
