To install GNU ddrescue command-line tool in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu open the terminal and type:

sudo apt update  
sudo apt install gddrescue

The gddrescue tool copies data from one file or block device (hard disk, CD-ROM, etc.) to another, trying hard to rescue data in case of read errors.

Found this guide for Ubuntu 18.04, but it also works for Ubuntu 20.04 version as well.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hamishmb/myppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ddrescue-gui
