Sure, yes, I did note that, but what if you need to stop it and
restart? No logging or anything.

dd_rescue was designed to replace this _eighteen years ago_ in 1999,
and gddrescue came out to replace dd_rescue with a more flexible
alternative in 2004.

DD hasn't been the tool for this since the end of last century.
