does ddrescue start at the beginning of a partition and work contiguously? I want to move the copied data partway through a session.
I started on a partition recovery that went 15GB in but now I want to switch from writing directly to a target disk to writing to a output file on another partition. Can I just dd the 15GB from the target disk to the target partition, then resume with the logfile?
(Simplified, options-omitted commands below)
What I was doing:
ddrescue /dev/sdd /dev/sdc logfile
What I want to do:
dd /dev/sdc /media/mounted-disk/imagefile.image
For 15GB worth of data, then
ddrescue /dev/sdd /media/mounted-disk/imagefile.image logfile
To continue the ddrescue onto the mounted partition's imagefile. Will this work?
