Gordon,
Have you all thought of trying Superdooper? It's way cheaper, and it
actually makes a 100% snapshot image of whatever drive volume partition you
wish. It's ridiculously accessible, and the documentation might as well
have been written for an infant, as it is so easy to understand. I would
highly! highly! highly! highly highly! recommend it!
Just another thought.
Thank you kindly,
Christopher-Mark Gilland.

Subject: Data Recovery Guru
Hi all
A while ago, somebody on list made an enquiry regarding a data recovery
solution. As it happens, I have just found myself in a situation where I
was in need of just such a utility. So my first port of call was the
Apple App Store and, to my very great surprise, I came across a little
application called "Data Recovery Guru". There are two versions of this
application. One is the App Store version and the other is the Website
version. The difference is that, in order that the utility complies with
Apple App Store regulations, it has the facility to scan all of your
internal drives or partitions disabled. This is not the case with the
website version. If you by the App Store version, then download and
install the Website version, you have two licensed copies. However, the
cost is still the same. So we elected to simply buy the Website version
and not bother installing the App Store one. I am currently evaluating
how much data can be recovered by trying to undelete two
crucial files which I accidentally deleted, then emptied the trash before
realising my mistake. The application is a little on the expensive side,
priced at $99.00 US Dollars. But I guess you evaluate its worth by the
results it gives you. What I have seen so far as it scans makes me think
that it is very thorough and impressive.
The down side is that the volumes and drives table is very nondescript.
Therefore, if you have multiple volumes mounted or multiple drives
connected, (as we have), it isn't possible to know exactly which drive you
are scanning. I guess the best solution would probably be to disconnect
all but the volume where you know your lost data was. Then, simply do a
scan from there. You can probably always safely assume that your internal
start drive is at the top of the list at all times. So if you only have
one single volume connected externally, you're pretty safe to assume where
the scan will take place.
Anyway, as I told you, the application is called "Data Guru". You can
read more about it here:

and, if you have valuable data which you want to recover, give the
application a spin.
