My data woes are looking a little rosier now. That drive I had with barely any uptime that was spouting i/o errors is sat 1.8 days into a ddrescue from a live usb. Seems like a fantastic tool. A (always terrifying) dd clone failed almost immediately. Process is down to around 17MB of bad space on it so data loss shouldn't be too bad.
