Finding optimal ddrescue command line options where Accuracy > Speed
- by gav
I'm read up a bit about this tool and obviously looked at the man pages. The trouble is that ddrescue takes so long I need to get the command right first time. I wasn't sure how to improve on the vanilla;
$ sudo ./ddrescue -v /dev/disk0s5 MyVolImage.dmg MyVolRescue.log
$ sudo ./ddrescue -v MyVolImage.dmg /dev/disk1s3 MyVolRestore.log
From HSF+ to HSF+ drives
Source (Broken) HDD is connected via USB 2.0
Dest HDD is inside MacBook
I would choose accuracy over speed
There seem to be a lot of options but I'm not sure how they impact quality and speed of recovery.
Thanks,
Gav
