If there are any errors on the drive, I would
recommend GNU
``ddrescue``. Do not confuse this with the older (but still
maintained) dd_rescue which is the product that inspired the GNU one;
the newer one is more capable.
It images but skips and continues on error, whereas ``dd`` will simply
fail.
Without havingh read the man page of ddrescue, does it do more magic than
"dd conv=noerror,sync" ?
