I have a home directory in a disk that has a lot of corrupted files. I am trying to save most files as possible. I am trying to create a backup of my home directory on an external drive using
tar -cvf backup /home/myHome
and also have tried
rsync -vfh /home/myHome /media/backup
Both methods stop when they found a corrupt file. Is there a way to force one or the other to continue copying and ignore bad files, copying everything that is possible to copy and show me a log at the end of the files that were not copied?
Thanks.
dd conv=noerror if=/dev/sdXY of=/media/backup/sdXY.dump
. Then you canfsck
the image file and mount it with-o loop
