option to stop and restart #11

Closed lr1980 closed 7 years ago

lr1980 commented 7 years ago

it would be nice to stop and restart the program with saved position :)

illwieckz commented 7 years ago

it's a good idea, I think the best implementation would be to do it like ddrescue does: using an optional journal file to resume any aborted run, so you don't care to stop it, only to resume it if something goes wrong (like unexpected power loss or system crash).

Can we please get the "resume" option?

glv2 commented 7 years ago

I don't have the time to work on it right now, but if someone make a pull request with this feature I'll gladly merge it.

I added a "-w file" option to save/restore the program state from a file in the master branch (commit f060da2359cad6f1943b01aa3695f2c69fc9b6d8).
