I either cloned, Ghosted, or copied the hard drive I was working on so I would have a backup so I could avoid this issue. But no matter how careful you try to be carp happens. Its not your fault she didnt have a backup.

Yeah, I need to learn how to do that, or have one computer designated for this kind of recovery, and LABEL the HDs.

Here's the update from another post.

I ran the deleted files recovery program. Many of her photos were there - but a GAZILLION of them were from Facebook and Plentyoffish. TOO FUNNY! I guess when you look at a pic, it's stored in the computer cache.

"Aren't you glad a girl did this?" I grinned.

So all is well.

I have a few scripts/crontab jobs set up to automatically fully back my system up to one of my servers every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 2AM.

Colin, this was a client's computer - she will have a friend show her how to burn photos to a CD. She doesn't even know how to do that, and she's 42 years old!

I think she has incentive to learn now.....
