To the best of my knowledge, you're out of luck.
A hard drive is not considered a "backup". That is what CD-ROM burners are for.
Protected files strip out the human-readable text. I don't know of any way
to uncompile it from the byte code, but maybe someone can correct me.
At one point there was a beta version of Director that erroneously dumped
code to the message window if you turned on the trace command, but I don't
think that will help.
You can check out certain structures like "the globals" to extract global
variables, but that is about it, to my knowledge.
You might have to look back at older versions you might have elsewhere and
try your best to reconstruct it.
On the positive side, Lingo coding always goes a lot faster the second time
around, and it is possibly to recreate everything except the scripts to my
knowledge.
