First, you could use -A (—try-again) together with an approximate -i 500G. 
This should reset the last 250200MB in the log file from 
"*" (non-trimmed) to "?" (non-tried). 

Hey yall,

thanks for all of your advice, I busted out a new configuration:

sudo ddrescue -i 506G -A -f -n -c 1Ki  /dev/rdisk3 /dev/rdisk1 nsclone.log 

and it started running again so it would seem that yall are correct
 in the idea it just skipped the last 230g.

Copying non-tried blocks...

so, further questions....

From reading all of the information from you guys, 
the -A made all the Blocks after 506G "unread".

So if I it stops or I have to stop it, can I just run it without the -A 
and it will pick up wherever it left off / at the first non-tried block, 
or would I need to run it from a specific position using -A -i ###G?

is there anything I should be wary of to avoid gorking it? 
i.e If I ran it -A without an -i position, would it like.... explode, 
overwrite or combine further recovered information with the current data?

I also forgot to run it a -c 256 - fail.

Thanks Yall, 

Niklas.
