I'm not sure if the SSD with lost partitions and errors can be recovered as is, it is sdc that I need to recover files from but it has no partition id like sdb which has sdb1 ntfs.
I use this command and it is executing but I'm not sure it should be done in it's current state.
sudo ddrescue -d -f /dev/sdc /dev/sdb clone.logfile
Partitions
sudo lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT,LABEL
sda 119.2G
├─sda1 vfat 512M /boot/efi
└─sda2 ext4 118.7G /
sdb 1.8T
└─sdb1 ntfs 1.8T /media/me/TOSHIBA EXT TOSHIBA EXT
sdc 931.5G
sr0 1024M
Does this work or do I need to assign an id or something else before using DDRescue?
sdbdoesn't have anything important, because you are overwriting it with data read fromsdc. (And you shouldn't leave any ofsdb's partitions/filesystems mounted if you want to just overwrite it.) – Tom Yan Nov 22 '23 at 10:51
