May 8, 20251 yr Community Expert You have apparently typed the numeral '1' when you should have typed the letter 'l' It's often better to copy paste from a code block instead of trying to type it yourself. Sometimes getting a command line wrong can have very bad results. 2 minutes ago, trurl said: What do you get from command line with this? ls /boot/extra The answer should be ddrescue-1.29.1-x86_64-1.txz You did get the which command right though

May 8, 20251 yr Community Expert I'm not sure I trust your screenshot, since the smart report you posted most recently for original disk1 was not actually the most recent smart report for that disk. Post new diagnostics

Assuming you haven't done anything including rebooting since those diagnostics: Original BAD disk1 is the source disk, sdg New destination disk is sdc So the command is ddrescue -f /dev/sdg /dev/sdc /boot/ddrescue.log

May 10, 20251 yr Author So, stuff is happening, as expected Just a quick fyi - ill let it keep running, and see where we end up
May 10, 20251 yr Community Expert It would probably take more than 24 hours to copy all bits of a good disk, so I would expect it to be even longer.
May 11, 20251 yr Community Expert Going well so far, this can take a few days, keep an eye on the "pct rescued" value.
May 15, 20251 yr Author Hi agian So windows decided to restart my computer last night, at some point. I dont know if the copy was done or not (last I saw it was 98.xx pct. and now the Terminal is all blank. Can I check if it did finish, or is it just all over agian? Thanks you windows!

May 15, 20251 yr Community Expert If you want to have a terminal session on Unraid that survives the client disconnecting you can use the Tmux Terminal Manager plugin.
