I'm pretty sure that's what I used to recover the photos I took of my daughter's wedding after I: 1. Made a blank/empty 4.7gig disk image to back up the contents of the folder 2. Used Toast to write that blank image to a DVD (DVD-R) and verified against original image 3. Used Toast to write that blank image to another DVD (DVD+R) and verified against original image 4. Deleted the original folder without comparing the contents of either of the DVDs to the original folder (which would have revealed to me that I'd never copied the original images into the disk image). Guess whose backup steps changed after that to include verification of CONTENT on the backups? Mistake realized too late for even Time Machine to help me. My own damned fault, I was sloppy. So I have the preview images of her wedding, at least. And the select percentage of web-sized images that I exported to a web gallery. That's it. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [email protected] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
