I'm trying to clone a 2TB hard drive to another 2TB Hard drive which I need some information from it, but I only need to copy good sectors only.
I selected in the expert mode, I left all the options marked by default and I additional selected -rescue and -nogui
For a Hard drive like this size (I've copied before) takes about three hours. And this one has three days and only goes by 3%, So I'm assuming it's copying the entire drive (with the bad sectors).
Is there any option I'm missing or by default it has an option I should remove?
Thanks for any help!

If there are bad blocks, then it's difficult to solve.
It's recommended to use dd_rescue or ddrescue for this purpose.
