I'm currently using Data Rescue II and it's been running for about 5 hours and says 2568 Hours remaining. (that's 3 months!) I think it's stuck on a bad sector.

In his epic YouTube video series, Data recovery dude Scott Moulton raves about software for Linux that skips bad sectors during a clone and says there's "programs out there" for Mac YouTube - Advanced Hard Drive Data Recovery Part 1

Anyone know of these programs?

Ideally you should image the drive with something like Deepspar or PC3000 Data Extractor, then scan the destination disk in your mac with Data Rescue.

Data Compass/Deepspar/Ninja etc.. can help you to image. it does not matter what O/S or File System exist on the drive. After imaging do a logical recovery if needed

Are you sure that the drive is not degrading or has a faulty head or two? If you are working on a client's drive and it has any value at all, I recommend you outsource to a data recovery professional before the drive dies. If you are working on your own drive and you have decided that you don't value your data, you are free to play. I haven't used it, but there is a version of R-Studio for MacOS that might be an alternative to Data Rescue II.

As for skipping bad sectors during the clone, you'll likely need to compile dd_rescue on your Mac. For free, it isn't a bad utility...however, it does not even compare to the power of DeepSpar's Disk Imager or Ace Labs Data Extractor.

Again, I don't recommend experimenting with your client's drive and be very careful that you mirror in the right direction. Cloning in the wrong direction is irreversible and a very hard and costly lesson to learn.
