Sounds interesting. It seems to provide some NTFS tools, but I could not find out from its docs what it really does. Can you provide more information, what it really does?

GNU ddrescue generates a log file which contains the list of unreadable sectors of the source disk.

ddru_(ntfs)findbad is used to find which files are damaged. ddru_findbad is the slow but universal shell script for NTFS/EXT/FAT/HFS. ddru_ntfsfindbad is the advanced NTFS-only version written in C.

ddru_ntfsbitmap can be used to pregenerate a log file for ddrescue so it doesn't try to recover unused areas of the partition.
