[ILUG] [OT] ddrescue on a Macbook

[ILUG] [OT] ddrescue on a Macbook

Hi All... happy new year

I'm using ddrescue on a Macbook in an attempt to rescue its 120GB
drive it's giving me the output below after 20 hours

Press Ctrl-C to interrupt
rescued:      120 GB,  errsize:  34093 kB,  current rate:        0 B/s
  ipos:   271094 kB,   errors:     312,    average rate:    2389 kB/s
  opos:   271094 kB
Splitting error areas...

That looks to me like it has imaged the drive i.e.  "rescued:      120
GB" but the program is still running. Can anyone tell me if
it would be ok to stop the program now and begin to try rescue files
from the image or has ddrescue got more tricks to try.

Anyone on the list had any luck using ddrescue?

Kind Regards
Tom
