In their own words
OpenSuperClone
OpenSuperClone is a free Linux data-recovery utility based on HDDSuperClone. It provides advanced drive cloning and logs the recovery process so it can be stopped and resumed. Virtual Disk Mode supports targeted extraction and can read from the source, destination, or neither, including workflows with DMDE, R-Studio, and UFS Explorer. Direct AHCI and IDE modes can bypass operating-system drivers, while the project documents direct USB access. The utility can power-cycle drives through generic USB HID relay boards or YEPKIT YKUSH switchable hubs. A script engine supports advanced drive interaction, with a Visual Studio Code language extension available. Downloads include DEB and RPM packages, source installation instructions, and a Linux Live ISO. OpenSuperClone is GPLv2 licensed. Virtual drive functions need a kernel module. NVMe SSDs require Generic Source Device Mode because they do not appear in default passthrough mode. Wiki documentation is incomplete.
