Sadly, the whole Unix/Linux world seems to live in a perfect world. I've
long hope to find a tool that could salvage as much as possible data from
a broken media, be it a failing HD, or an old CD. Last time, I tried, none
of dd, cp, tar, rsync, cpio have the ability to ignore error and move on
-- that's all the tools that I know, which means to me the whole
Unix/Linux refuse to live in real world, in which bad media do occur.
I really hope someone can prove me wrong, and I'd be much love to accept
it...
