[QUOTE="sadira, post: 1496943, member: 294783"] I need to recover a 3TB USB HD that I dropped on the ground. I started making a copy yesterday by running ddrescue in Terminal entering: sudo ddrescue -v -f -n /dev/disk3 /Volumes/Seagate/disk_rescue.dmg disk_rescue.log I've only just learnt how to use ddrescue so I was thrilled that it worked at all. It got to 1071 GB rescued (with no errors so far!) when I realized that a 2TB destination drive is going to fail when it runs out of space - oops. I interrupted the copy with Ctrl-C and ran out and bought a 4TB hard drive to use as the destination drive instead. 4TB because I read that it needs to be bigger that the input drive to have enough space for the log file. So my question: can I resume the copy of my failing hard drive on the new 4TB destination drive? Seems like it might be possible since I created a log file, but would I have to manually edit the command line inside the log file to match the new output path? I'm super new at this, so no answer is too detailed! [/QUOTE]
