There's also dd status status=LEVEL The LEVEL of information to print to stderr; 'none' suppresses everything but error messages, 'noxfer' suppresses the final transfer statistics, 'progress' shows periodic transfer statistics and pv pv - monitor the progress of data through a pipe So with pv, you can do something like dd if=/dev/zero count=2 bs=512 | pv | dd of=/dev/null to visualize your dd progress.

I am aware of both of those, but in my case I prefer ddrescue for the syntax. For backup scripts I use dd and pv (and pigz). I recall I started using ddrescue because one of my distros would not autocomplete with the if= prefix, but I can't seem to replicate it currently - so it's probably been fixed (or my memory is failing me).
