I used **ddrescue** many times for failing HDDs with MBR partition tables. It always worked perfectly and if the failing HDD was bootable, the clone booted, too.
Now I have a possibly failing SSD, but this time it is **GPT** / **UEFI** bootable.
Will ddrescue work for me? Will the clone work and boot correctly?
Couldn't find anything about GPT/UEFI compatibility in the docs.
If not, what alternative(s) do I have?
As far as I know, clonezilla is GPT/UEFI compatible, but I'm not sure if it will work for a failing drive.
