ddrescue
by gkd from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5C7DP)
I have a drive which is partially working.Few files were working fine I copied them to another drive using ubuntu. But When I copied other files ,ubuntu gave me I/O errror.
I used ddrescue .Its currently running for two days but at very low speed (It's in B/s).
Source drive is exfat based.
Destination drive is ntfs based.
Both drives are of same comapny "WD" ,same size 1TB.
I gave the command : Code:sudo ddrescue -d -r 3 sourcedrive destination.img logile.logI even tried to run it in reverse order but still speed is too low.It will take forever to complete.
Am I doing something wrong?
Should I used another tool for backing up the files ,I mean other than DDRESCUE?
Should I improvise ddrescue command by adding some options?
Should I used another linux distribution for backing up files fastly?
