I would like to run a Linux installation on my Mac from a pen drive in order to create an emergency backup of my most important files.I do not know whether my hard drive is physically broken or just full of corrupted files.Are there any tricks or (freely available) tools for Linux which can restore broken files from a hard drive, so that I can back them up?
