A while ago the idea of trying to make the use of ddrescue "safer" was bought up and one idea was to present a summary-screen of what was about to be done along with any available data about the devices being used. ie;
ddrescue is about to copy 750GB from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb [2000GB]. Proceed (y/N)? Obviously this would be an optional item, but I know when the pressure is on and you've had a long hard day of data recovery it can be nice to have that added level of confirmation before proceeding with a disk->disk transfer. So much so that I frequently will endure the longer recovery process of going disk -> image, image -> new disk, just so I don't make a [data] fatal mistake.
