"Ignore bad sectors"?
I wonder if I understand best practice for the "Ignore bad sectors" option. (I'm mostly using the ATI2020 boot media.)
In general, I do not enable this option. (As I understand it, if bad sectors develop, this way I'll be made aware with an error message that there are bad sectors. [What about the target drive, is there some way to be made aware by ATI if bad sectors develop on it?])
OTOH, if I had a drive that I already knew had bad sectors and needed to be backed up, if I understand correctly that might be a good time to enable "Ignore bad sectors" option.
How did I do? Did I flunk?

Thank you very much, Steve!
I'm relieved that I haven't been doing it wrong. (I can't forget that long long ago on Ghost I did do it wrong and paid a price for that.)
