I have never used this "tool" because dd has always sufficed.
Even with an almost end of hardware life (takketaketakke noise generating)
disk I have been able to create an image (even with hitting the disk case
because heads got stuck) and rescue data from it with plain dd. This has
been more then 8 years ago, since then I make sure to always have multiple
good back-ups
