Hello!
---
It is not enough description for option "-f" on page 
http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/manual/ddrescue_manual.html
---
  Example 2: Rescue an ext2 partition in /dev/hda2 to /dev/hdb2.
  Note: you need to create the hdb2 partition with fdisk first. hdb2 should be 
of appropriate type and size.     

  ddrescue -f -n /dev/hda2 /dev/hdb2 logfile
  ...
---
    Description for '-f' '--force' 
    Force overwrite of outfile. Needed when outfile is not a regular file, but 
a device or partition. 
---

What will happen if I launch command:   

     ddrescue -f -n /dev/sda2 /mnt/usbrestoredisk/restorefile ddresc_log_file
  
instead partition name "hdb2" I put file name on mounted partition with files 
and folders, free space is more than size of /dev/sda2. 
What will happen with these files on /mnt/restoredisk? 
Both partitions from command have ntfs filesystem.

Will be saved wholeness for restorefile after finish of executing
ddrescue -f -n /dev/sda2 /mnt/usbrestoredisk/restorefile ddresc_log_file 
for next stage with "-d" parameter ddrescue -d -f -r1 /dev/sda2 
/mnt/usbrestoredisk/restorefile ddresc_log_file ?

Version of ddrescue is 1.16

Thank You!
