[ale] Extreme Practical Data Recovery

[Greg Freemyer]

iirc, He talked about taking the better part of a month!!!

again iirc, dd_rescue  (or ddrescue?) is smart enough to know what it
already has, so each time it runs it goes after a different part of
the drive.

It also has the ability to go backwords etc., so it is far more robust
than standard dd.
