Hello, I did 1st run:
ddrescue -f -g -n /dev/sdb /dev/sda /mnt/rescue1.log And it finished with: current pos: 160041 MB, current status: finished domain size: 160041 MB, in 1 area(s) rescued: 157140 MB, in 136256 area(s) ( 98.18%) non-tried: 2900 MB, in 136255 area(s) ( 1.81%) errsize: 0 B, errors: 0 ( 0%) non-trimmed: 0 B, in 0 area(s) ( 0%) non-split: 0 B, in 0 area(s) ( 0%) bad-sector: 0 B, in 0 area(s) ( 0%) And later I run this command again ( with new log file ) on same disks ( /dev/sdb is getting bad sectors ) - I know it's my mistake and I should stay with 1st run: ddrescue -f -g -n /dev/sdb /dev/sda /mnt/rescue2.log // new log file used My questions: 1) Does ddrescue overwrite data on /dev/sda (target) if it can't get it ( bad sectors ) from /dev/sdb or data from 1st run will remain on target drive? 2) Does ddrescue overwrite data on /dev/sda (target) if I didn't specify log file from 1st run ( create new one )? 3) If answers to questions above are YES then I understand that it copy this new run in same place ( sectors ) as 1st one so I can put it together in data recovery application?
