Hello, I know this email address is for bugs, but I could not find a reference in the instructions that I needed.
I ran ddrescue successfully in my linux box, from my affected 1TB drive to a new 2TB drive. I have put the 2TB drive aside for safekeeping and later restore (hopefully) of files. I would like to run ddrescue a second time from the affected 1TB drive to a new 1TB drive, so that I can look into the new 1TB drive and "poke around". When I attempt to run: "ddrescue /dev/sda /dev/sdb /logfile.log", it tells me the output file (logfile.log) exists and if I overwrite it, existing data will be lost. Understandable. But can I create a second logfile (mapfile) while maintaining the original? Or is this a foolish endeavor? Thank you for your attention to this question.
