  • ddru_ntfsbitmap — a utility that extracts the bitmap file from an NTFS partition, and then creates a domain log file to use with ddrescue that would only recover the used portion of the partition. yes, only the used part. we love an efficient queen ✨ for more info on ddru_ntfsbitmap, try ddru_ntfsbitmap --help.
  • ddru_ntfsfindbad — a utility for NTFS partitions to find which files are related to bad sectors in a ddrescue log file. you should use this for NTFS partitions in place of the original ddru_findbad. no cap, that's the move 💯 for more info on ddru_ntfsfindbad, try ddru_ntfsfindbad --help.
  • ddru_diskutility — an advanced LINUX ONLY utility that can perform several different functions on a disk, using some direct pass-through disk commands. linux girlies only, sorry 🐧 for more info on ddru_diskutility, try ddru_diskutility --help.
