Its like the gnome extensions, the browser data (i use vivaldi and i forgot the encrypted key so i cant just sync it, i really dont wanna waste time to set all my bookmarks, history and configs like 100mbps half duplex, xrander etc. i really dont want to go through all that. I use liunx just so i can get things done-mostly study and abit of python learning. so what i mean by HDD as is are those data and config files- let me explain, idk the technical term for this caz i am very new, not even an year passed since i main linux, and windows for gaming only ofc. https://www.distrotube.com/

i know the answer, will update the process soon but its not what i have desired but it seems to be the only way. I may have found a better solution, will make a separate entry to confirm the idea and mark it as solution here and there. Basically would snapshot work- via TIMESHIFT? Would it ignore the stuff that is not useable and do the ones that can?

right after i commented that, the power went out. not possible then. i am planning to redo, take whatever config i need. (thats what ddrescue does but rsync makes sure that u can just swap ur HDD if u were need to and the OS will still take the new HDD as if its was the original). make my usb persistant and attach my new HDD as its /home. if i need anything along the way i can go to my old hdd and retrieve it. also if my old HDD stay unused, would it go bad?

i am a linux user xd and ik i shouldn't be using my linux, if its a physical bad sector then i am gonna make it worse if not then a gparted repair should work but i really need to back it up, thats what i am trying to do now. Taking whatever i need via a live CD for the time being. I already managed a HDD of similar size (external). tried rsync but ye the bad sector takes forever and sometimes an hout or 2 just to say "we cant do it, we will try it again". my distro already has that. if not i can just sudo install em- or what they want me to do to install it.

well not really, i can fix it but all route points me to above 24 hours of pc run time which is impossible where i live and also i got no time for that. but the good news is i can still save the HDD and reuse it - https://superuser.com/questions/665214/how-to-quickly-format-a-hdd-with-bad-sectors-in-linux/665232 the reason i want to rsync it, so that my os doesn't freak out and i need to redo all my con-figs and app installs. Basically i wanna do this https://www.distrotube.com/blog/move-your-home-folder-to-second-drive/ i done it before (thats how i moved to my new 1tb HDD(old)) but

i drop kicked my pc, and my /home drive has bad sectors (has been flagged to fail soon) now. i rsync it but in a span of 14 hours, it managed to copy 270 gigs (got 6.7gb/1tbh) and ofc it spends about 20 mins trying to copy 1kb of file. on disks i see like 2002 bad sectors. i don't know what to do. Dual boot windows-Linux/deb got separate drives for both OS- one is a Toshiba(/home) but oddly enough it reported those bad sectors like after 4 days pior to the kick, its old tbh. the other is a WD blue 3 years of use of the shelf. also very new to Linux but am comfortable with terminal and v

Bought another CR2032 battery, it was stable for a day or 2 and today i mean a few hours ago its started to happen again. Every time i clear the cmos, after a min to 10. it shuts down (as if the motherboard loses all power). Switched the ram to the other slot (just a single dim) and cmos'ed and it worked for an hour, played games and suddenly while i was writing- it dies.
