If you can still mount the drive, you shouldn't have issues (most of the time).
There are other safety precautions you can do such as using "-r" to go reverse if you start hitting errors at the beginning of the run. I'm sure the rest of the gang can provide more info too.

How cna I use DD rescue to recover a disk and copy its entire contents to another disk? My 500 GB has reported 61 bad sectors and I want to transfer the contents to my 1 TB that is all free space right now.
