Oh, ok. Gotcha. Sorry for the mix up. Now I'm feeling kind a dumb.
Thank you kindly,

Subject: Re: Data Recovery Guru
hi Chris
Super Duper! is not at all the same. Super Duper! is a volume
backup/restore utility, not a data recovery utility. For the record,
yes, we at Mac Access Dot Net are registered license holders of Super
Duper! and also Carbon Copy Cloner. Lynne actually wrote a very good
article highlighting the functions of these pieces of software. You can
find it on our blog page:
<http://blog.mac-ios-access.net/2011/07/07/mac-osx-system-backup/>
So it really isn't quite fair to compare the two applications, as their
functionality is very different.
Data recovery is the sector-level retrieval of deleted data which may not
exist in a backup. What Data Recovery Guru does is to scan a drive/volume
sector by sector and find out what has been deleted and no longer exists
in the trash. It enables you to recover those files as long as the sector
on which they resided has not been overwritten.
I agree with your comments regarding Super Duper! and I would definitely
advocate that anybody who is seriously concerned about the preservation of
their important documents and, indeed, their operating system, would b
well advised to invest in either Super Duper! or Carbon Copy Cloner. AS
Lynne highlighted in her article, there is another way to backup an entire
volume without the need for any additional utilities. But that involves
going into the Terminal and issuing commands. Some users would quite
naturally find that a little daunting. As the administrator of the
servers upon which this list is managed, I have had to learn how to use
the terminal. Super Duper! and Carbon Copy Cloner have saved me hours of
work in the past, I'd be the first to admit that. But again, what I am
talking about here is data retrieval, not backup restoration. I hope that
clarifies things a little.

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!
