By the way, the following is the testdisk log file.
In the meantime I figured out that when I list files I am actually able to copy them (at least the copy of small files did not failed but I haven't tried with big ones).
What's the best strategy at this point? Would using ddrescue take ages due to the size of the HD (1tb) and the speed of my computer/laptop?
