Hi! I'm using ddrescue 1.19 on a laptop running a Linux Mint 18 live DVD to transfer data from a 750GB 2.5" SATA hard drive to a 1TB 2.5" SATA hard drive. The 1TB hard drive is physically installed in the laptop and the 750GB drive is in a USB 3.0 SATA enclosure. ddrescue has been working on this for just over 5 days now and it's currently in the "Scraping" phase. It's been in this phase for about the last 3 1/2 to 4 days, with the last successful read happening about 4 days ago. It seems to have "scraped" about 109GB of data thus far. ddrescue reports a 479MB error size and encountered 77 errors. I'll post an actual screen shot of ddrescue output, when I can.
In any event, my question is: is it safe to terminate ddrescue during the "scraping" phase? The reason I'm using ddrescue 1.19 is that version is the version in the Linux Mint repository I used for installing in the "live" session. Thanks in advance for any feedback! Peace...
