Testdisk to the rescue

I can personally vouch for Testdisk which saved my data after I was repeatedly copying and pasting instructions for /dev/sdb and changing it to /dev/sdd which was my USB. Only one time I forgot to change it and there went my /dev/sdb into the dustbin.

Setup your system to never write to /dev/sda

I strongly recommend creating a wrapper script: Prevent dd from destroying SSD or HDD. This ensures dd never writes to /dev/sda or possibly /dev/sdb or any other of your mass storage devices.
