Andrej,
I see you show 9.20% rescued at this time. I am curious, do you
remember what the percentage was from ddru_ntfsbitmap? If you don't
remember for sure, you could run ddrescuelog on the domain file to
find out:
"ddrescuelog -t domain_logfile"
"Rescued" will = used space that you are trying to recover, and
"non-tried" will = free space that you are ignoring.
When your rescue hits the percentage of used space, then you should
have recovered the needed data, except for any errors of course.
More things I need to put in the documentation I think.

Hi Florian!
Let me just ask, why you always use option -A
(—try-again)?
Well, I have read in the manual, that if the drive stops
responding I should use the -A option :\ But as I can see now I
haven't read the whole sentence right *facepalm* :
"
Try this if the drive stops
responding AND ddrescue immediately starts splitting failed
blocks when restarted."
I would only use that on a single run under very special
circumstances, and almost always while still using -n
(—no-split). If it is useful in your case depends a lot of
what exactly happens, when your drive becomes unresponsive.
Option -A might be necessary, but could also be harmful, by
forcing ddrescue to repeat trying known bad areas instead of
moving on to the untried rest of the disk.
When my driver becomes unresponsive the Activity light on the
converter stops blinking an I get this in my messages log :
"usb 5-1: reset full-speed USB device number 47 using ohci_hcd
usb 5-1: Parent hub missing LPM exit latency info. Power
management will be impacted.

usb 5-1: reset full-speed USB device number 47 using ohci_hcd

..."
Then ddrescue just stops with :
"....

I have now omitted the -A option and now I'm only using :
"ddrescue -m /tmp/domain_logfile -v /dev/sdb1 /tmp/Image.img
/tmp/Image.log"
or
"ddrescue -m /tmp/domain_logfile -v -R /dev/sdb1 /tmp/Image.img
/tmp/Image.log"
Here's my status so far :
