dd_rhelp uses dd_rescue to recover corrupt data from bad hard drives

Kalysto - /Utilities/dd_rhelp - (rescue hard disk helper)
Since I've been running Maxtor drives for the past few years, I haven't had a drive failure that would require this... but handy to know of it...

will try to gather the
maximum valid data before trying for ages on badsectors. So if you leave
dd_rhelp work for infinite time, it'll have the same effect as a simple
dd_rescue. But because you might not have this infinite time (this could
indeed take really long in some cases... ), dd_rhelp will jump over bad
sectors and rescue valid data. In the long run, it'll parse all your device
with dd_rescue.
