Resume Imaging

I just had a hard drive which I guesstimate it had around 60% bad crcs. I created a small image of the disk to speed up the scanning process (instead of scanning the disk directly).

My question is, can you resume an imaging process? i.e. start imaging where you left off? The computer doing the imaging restarted due to updates, and I lost 3 weeks of continuous 24/7 scanning. Estimated time of imaging was around 1.5 months. It was a 200gb drive.

Not directly. If you can determine exactly the sector where the scan ended, you may create a region starting from the next sector, create an image of that region, and then create a spanned volume, where the first part is the first image, and the second one is the second image.

That is a very good idea. It would be nice if it was automatic, or at least if it told you which sector was the last one. It is very frustrating to lose weeks of imaging.

Thanks!

Yes, it's a good idea. We'll include that in our to-do list.
