Just this last weekend I was working with one of my sound apps in 9.2.2 on my PB667 hotplate and managed to completely disrupt the HD file system. The result was a non booting HD in OSX or OS9. I initially used the Tech Tool disc that Apple gives away with Applecare but it would freeze in the process of validating the file structure. I then used Disk Warrior and this utility (previously installed) brought back the PB to its original condition. Life is good. The disk was so damaged that I was not allowed to preview the imager before restoring.
The question is...Is this the best utility currently on the market? And... Why can't Apple themselves be better about HD disk utilities for their products? I doubt Disk First Aid would have touched this problem. After this near miss I will be replacing the original HD with probably a 60 GByte IBM and creating separate partitions, something long over due. My work requires moving massive audio files around on different computer systems and I believe Retrospect 5.0 works the best for my workgroup. I get a kick out of the extreme ease of the clients working cross-platform on the windows machines of the network. Any thoughts or conformation about backup utilities would be welcome also. Brian C.
