Even if all passes are made in the same direction, ddrescue will go 
twice per pass over any area (unwanted or not) that is between rescue 
domain extremes, because it must go back to the beginning to start the 
next pass.

There is a way to make ddrescue perform the copy phase in just one pass, 
and therefore in one direction; disable skipping with '--skip-size=0'.

Please, tell me if this solves your problem.


Best regards,
Antonio.
