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. |
