OK. But if I decide that I've already retrieved 'enough' data (for a friend, btw), then I can interrupt the copy at this point and have target disk that has all the existing data on it? It doesn't need to run to completion to be useable?
Sometimes the target drive is usable with only a 10% rescued, sometimes it is unusable with only a few sectors missing. One never knows. This is why the recommended method in these cases is to make a second copy and try to repair it. If the second copy is unusable, you can continue running ddrescue on the first.
