dd on Debian 9 Stretch is failing.
So, over the past few weeks my internal HDD had been malfunctioning,
I decided to dd my disk to another using a disk image. I created an Debian bootable USB and did this: sudo -i then after that, I did: dd if=/dev/sda3 conv=sync,noerror bs=32M | gzip -c > /media/pi/OctanMyPassport/backup.gz It is very slow an usually comes up with errors like: Error splicing file. AMD E1-7010 Radeon R2 Graphics APU @ 1.5Ghz 4GB DDR3 RAM 1TB HDD TOSHIBA MQ100ABD01 2TB HDD WD MY PASSPORT WD001765AAS Please help as my HDD is dying, 7000 sectors bad. |
Use ddrescue instead of dd.

Thanks I will try it out!
