ddrescue

Data recovery tool that reads data from damaged block devices. More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/.

  • Take an image of a device, creating a log file:

sudo ddrescue {{/dev/sdb}} {{path/to/image.dd}} {{path/to/log.txt}}

  • Clone Disk A to Disk B, creating a log file:

sudo ddrescue --force --no-scrape {{/dev/sda}} {{/dev/sdb}} {{path/to/log.txt}}
