is sudo ddrescue -fAn good for an initial first pass on external HDD? i was told to do -f -n for a first pass, but considering retrying with -f -n -A. (zerobytes.monster)

-f -n works for me in ddrescue, but it's been kind of crawling at 9% recovered for like a week now. so i am kinda scared to touch it. i was told that as long as i create an img and a log you can make multiple passes with different settings and it won't retry sections it has already recovered...
