[Bug-ddrescue] Algorithm Question |

Hi,
I am fairly new to ddrescue so please forgive me if the answer to
these questions are obvious (I searched for an answer of course :) ).
The ddrescue.info reveals how the algorithm works but it is not very
clear. So my questions are:
- How does ddrescue work on defective sectors? When does it decide to
skip sectors and much more important: how does it determine the size
of sectors to skip or jump ahead?
- Also I have read something about backward reading capabilities but
haven't seen ddrescue actually reading backwards. Does the current
ddrescue read backwards? If so - when?
Thanks for your help in advance
