Is DDRescue-Gui available anywhere without a paywall?
by tcat0 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6J06J)
I have an SSD that has 3 partitions and it was probably a windows install but the largest partition shows no signs of what was it or how could it be mounted (basically It's universally recognised as raw/unallocated).
While I had some success with Testdisk on previous drives, I couldn't get it to find anything on said drive, and went to look for other alternatives, and came across DDRescue.
Of course I could use the original, but a gui version is still tempting as it's probably easier to use, but all I could find is one guy, and his website where I could buy the software (https://www.hamishmb.com/ddrescue-gui/). On the site it mentions that it is open-source, but I found no signs of any source code anywhere, let alone packages.
I have also seen threads about having to add the guy's PPA to apt but neither does that have the package.
As for my system (if it's even relevant), it is Debian 12.
What am I getting wrong? Is there something I may have missed?
Thanks for the replies in advance!
