Best bet for recovering disks with bad sectors is to use dd_rescue. I
don't know if Matt has packages built for this, but even if he
doesn't, if you have another linux box that you could use, you could
plug the bad drive into a second bay, download dd_rescue, and use it.
The web page for dd_rescue is
http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/ddrescue/. If you use plain-old dd,
it will quit when it hits the bad sectors and you may miss important
info after that point.
 
Hope this helps,
 
Stephen

Hi,
My REDHAT Linux7.2 is used for email sevice. There is some bad
sectors in the hard disk. I have to backup or clone my data before
change it. 
I was told that Triux is good solution for cloning hard disk, but I
don't know exactly which packages(I see many pakages in your download
webpage) is  suitable for my problem and how do I using Trinux.
I would be very appreciative if you could give me a reply in detail.
 
Thanks.
 
Wymond.
