Hi
This is an old story.

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
