DDrescue GUI abort questions
Currently running a DDrescue GUI job on an external 2TB drive that had some not so crucial data on it. I know it has bad blocks so I just wanted to see if I could get the bulk of the data off. Started it last night and to my surprise it's a 97% already but the last 3% ETA shows 18 min in the GUI but in the terminal window shows 5 days and keeps bouncing up and down. Can I cancel it at this point safely? if I get 97% of what's on there that's fine, I just don't want to cancel it and have no data available on the target drive. Not sure how that works.
Not using a log file. I know you're supposed to be I just did this recovery quick and dirty. Normally I would use one. Not sure if that affects my scenario but I'm not looking to resume it later.
