You are welcome. I'll do my best to help you recover the data.

I don't think upgrading to 1.22 will help you. I suppose you want to 
recover all the data, and most probably the new features of 1.22 won't 
help you to do it significantly better than 1.21.

This shows: "Copying non-tried blocks... Pass 1 (backwards)".

Why are you running ddrescue in reverse mode (backwards)? Reverse mode 
is usually slower.

What command line are you using to invoke ddrescue?
May you compress and send me the mapfile? This will allow me to see the 
distribution of errors in the volume.


Best regards,
Antonio.
