Further information is available under Detailed info if desired. In this example a 1TB drive /dev/sdb is being copied to a new 1TB drive /dev/sdc. Best of luck, let me know if you need help with anything. Once you have DDRescue-Gui loaded choose an image source, an image destination and a recovery map file loction.

As always, read the manual, it's got some good practices as far as best recovery practices. UPDATE : This package has been confirmed to work with the macOS 11 beta with a few minor issues. I'd try ddrescue or ddrescue-gui out if I were you, if you want to do the free & command line route. I've used testdisk/ photorec in the past with some success, it got some of my files but not all of them, and it was not organized at all by the way, many duplicates. Without a mapfile, ddrescue can't resume a rescue, only reinitiate it. Always use a mapfile unless you know you won't need it. This might be an easy way to go, but you lose the power of log files (you can merge multiple partial recovered images). Ddrescue tries to create a backup copy of the mapfile, with the name mapfile.bak, every time it is going to overwrite a fsynced mapfile. If not, another alternative is the this ddrescue-gui that I came across, it has ddrescue bundled within the application, you'll want to download the. Failing that, If you have xcode installed, it's trivial to download the latest source code, browse to download in terminal, extract lzip -dc /PathTo/ | tar -x, cd to extracted ddrescue directory, then make and sudo make install. It automagically skips areas with errors, so that it can recover all the clean stuff first. I find ddrescue (available on a number of linux live CDs) to be superior to just about every thing else, including just plain dd.

You can easily install the current version of ddrescue if you have macports installed sudo port install ddrescue. TIL that Datarescue has a free GUI dd app for Windows and MAC. In the comments on the webpage you linked to, there were suggestions of using ddrescue, a worthwhile read here before you go down that road and it might explain why your (and my) dd backup did not work. What’s new in version 1.0.2 Updated on Version 1.0.2: Added menus. I don't know if your drive is still alive or not, if you can do another rescue run with different software, that would probably be your best bet. ddrescue-gui is a graphical user front end for ddrescue on the Mac. Another comment on there reported success opening a problematic dd created image using filesavage, seems kinda dated and pricey for a maybe.

I doubt this will help, but it's worth a shot: How to Repair DMG Files.
A bad sector is a sector on the disk which data cannot be written or read (read errors) due to physical damage or inconsistencies of parity checking bits on disk (CRC or Cyclic Redundancy Check error). They are early signs of a disk crash as it deteriorates over time. I've gotten shafted doing a similar rescue using dd. Bad sectors are the most common form of hard disk physical damage.
