So you thought you had your files backed up onto that jaz cartridge - until it came time to restore. Then you found out that you had bad sectors and you've lost almost everything because gzip craps out 10% of the way through your archive. The gzip Recovery Toolkit has a program - gzrecover - that attempts to skip over bad data in a gzip archive and to GNU tar that enables that program to skip over bad data and extract whatever files might be there. |
