It is similiar to:
dd if=<src_dev> of=<dst_dev> bs=512 conv=noerror,sync
but dd(1) solution can last for many weeks/months on heavily
corrupted disk.
This program will not recover data of any sector with failing read command. If dd(1) command above finishes for you in a reasonable time, you do not need this program.
