But I'm curious where the data itself (or image file) is being saved? I don't see it anywhere, but I may just not know where to look! I thought a disk image should be created from what I read in that second tutorial.but maybe I executed the command wrong? And for what it's worth, I have made sure that /dev/sdc is the bad drive, and /dev/sdb is the drive, with sufficient space, that I am trying to get data over to. So I believe my log file was created properly. In the folder /ExtraSpace/Sailor I see a log file. It has now been running for a full day, and is reporting 22% recovered! So I think I'm making progress! (Of course I'll let it run until it's done.maybe 2 or 3 more days) When I executed that command, it was the first time that I got ddrescue to start doing its thing. How is this any better than simply running: sudo ddrescue /dev/disk2s2 myimage.dmg myimage.log You should make this way better before asking for donations. It should also add some additional value to the CLI tool, which I dont see this doing at all. Code: ddrescue -r3 -n -S -v /dev/sdc /dev/sdb recovery. A good GUI should make a CLI tool easier to use, not harder. I need to boot into ubuntu and take a look myself. This is designed to be as user-friendly as possible so users new to Linux can use ddrescue easily. It provides a simple graphical method for using ddrescue. Say that I have an optical disc mounted as mydisc (by default in the /media folder) and need to recover a file called myvideo.mp4 inside it. DDRescue-GUI is a program designed to make it easier to use GNU ddrescue (A Command-Line data recovery tool). But to clear few things, let me give you an example. ddrescue input-file-path output-file-path logfile. Long story short, from the first tutorial, I determined that the command I should send in terminal would be as follows: sudo ddrescue -f /dev/sdc /dev/sdb /media/ubuntu/ExtraSpace/Sailor/Sailor.log Im very rusty on the Linux side of things so can anyone familiar with DDRescue help me out. The basic usage of ddrescue is as follows. I've also played around with this tutorial, but didn't have as much luck with it: Created by GNU ddrescue version 1.19 Command line: ddrescue -v -d -f -r 2 -c 32 -b 4096 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdb /home/recovWDC2tb. Here is the output of the logfile: Rescue Logfile. So I found a couple tutorials, and the one that seems to be working the best can be found here: I used DD-Gui to perform clone as I am noob and want to avoid destroying the planet. If the destination folder is on a Linux machine, then install samba and add something like this to your smb. If your destination folder is on a Windows machine, then create a shared folder, assign permissions appropriately, and away you go. (Looks like Parted Magic is no longer open source?) Using ddrescue over a Network to a Shared Folder First Create The Shared Folder. Windows is pretty much a lost cause for this type of problem, so I went straight to Ubuntu. I'm an Ubuntu newbie that has tinkered around with it just a tiny bit, but ultimately don't know much about it except how powerful it could be for super users! Also, if this is the wrong place to post this to, any ideas where it would be better suited? Anyway, I have a friend that needs help getting some data off a hard drive that has gone bad on him.
