[NBLUG/talk] Recovering data from a failing hard disk

[Lincoln Peters]

I need to transfer a huge volume of data from a failing 160GB hard disk
to a new one of the same size.  I'm thinking that the following would do
the trick:

find -print0 | xargs -0 --replace=FILE dd conv=noerror if=FILE of=/new/disk/FILE

Is there a better way?
