Hello,
Everything I read about ddrescue seems to imply trying to recover whole
partitions. Can I also use it to recover single files from an otherwise
good NTFS partition?
It's a 10 GB partition, and I don't have so much free space anywhere
now. All I want is a couple of damaged email files of around 100 MB.
Can I mount the NTFS partition and "ddrescue /mnt/ntfs/my_mail_file
logfile"? I understand the file may be not be laid out in one piece on
the disk and may be fragmented.
In other words, I guess my real question is: does ddrescue copy disk
blocks one after the other, or when given a file, does it just ask the
filesystem module/driver/whatever to return the relevant blocks which it
can read?
Thanks,
RD
