Re: [Bug-ddrescue] how to create a ddrescue image across a network

[gsander]

I think I have figured this out.  The 466 GB image creation finished then I
was able to mount that image.  Using Midnight Commander I am copying data
from the image to the cifs mount point I originally created.  This is pretty
slow but it ends up with my customers music on a Windows hard drive and I
know what to do with that.  There was probably a better way but for now I
have a new tool.
