Hello,
One of my external hard disks is dying. Many sectors can't be read anymore and I'm trying to save what I can. I'd love to use dd for this, but the disk has that strange behavior to randomly eject itself. Therefore dd is not the best tool here. I've read someone recommend ddrescue.
The drive ejects itself when a long copy operation is on-going. Ideally I'd love to have something that allows me to continue a backup/sync operation where it left off. Even better would be if I could pick folders to start from because most of the disk is on CrashPlan.
Any recommendations and helpful hints are welcome.
Thank you.
Andreas
