Color me stupid. I have two 100 GB drives: one's my basic boot drive (D1) and I SuperDuper copy to the other (D2) as backup.
When I travel to where my wife is taking care of her parents, I back up to the second drive, take it with me and boot from it thru her iBook. I also have a tera byte drive (D3) that I use for storing av stuff, like video projects, ripped DVDs etc. Last I looked it had about 250 GB unused space on it. Here's the rub. I backed up and packed up D2 & D3 and drove to Santa Barbara. There I discovered that I must have inadvertently backed up D1 to D3 as all the AV files are gone. Swell. OK. what to do? Local Mac shop whats $300+ to recover. Looks like file recovery software runs about $100. Any recommendations for what works. And, of course, I might just let it go. Advise and comments appreciated.
