KDiskRescue is a front-end software for KDE that works with the ddrescue tool from GNU. It helps users recover data from damaged storage devices.
If you're looking for a KDE frontend to the gnu program ddrescue, then the KDiskRescue project might be just what you need. This handy software is built using korundum, the qt/kde ruby bindings, which means it relies on both korundum and ddrescue to function properly.
While this software is still in the alpha stage, it still offers a range of features that make it a worthy contender for those in need of a ddrescue frontend. However, due to its alpha stage, users should expect to encounter some issues, but they can report them for further improvements.
One important thing to note is that the illustrations provided with KDiskRescue are also currently in alpha. If you're a Gentoo user, you can use the provided ebuild, but it's just the configure/make/make install thing inside the tarball.
It's worth mentioning that there is a known issue with the first step showing a media list that doesn't auto-update when a removable media is ejected/inserted. To refresh this list, you must restart KDiskRescue. All in all, this software is a valuable tool for anyone who needs a reliable ddrescue frontend.
