I have successfully used it to recover entire hard drives that were having mechanical failures. You can recover to an image file (which you can later mount) or to another physical drive which will completely clone the disk.
Recovery with ddrescue will attempt to maintain all structures on disk and only pad out anything that it can't recover at all after several attempts. It can be quite slow depending on the state of the disk. My last recovery took two weeks of continuous operation due to spindle and head bearing failures but I had a 100% recovery from that disk. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
