Ever since I had a laptop stop working because it was overheating and I lost a lot of work I keep multiple back ups. Usually on a flash drive, CD/DVD, external hard drive, computer and on my laptop. Seems to be the case that once someone looses something they realise the importance of backing up.

If you've overwritten the data with ghost, there isn't a lot you can do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_recovery#Recovering_overwritten_data[^] If you've just deleted the data. Stop using your computer right now! Which ever hard drive had the data that you've lost on it, turn the computer off immediately and disconnect the hard drive! There are possible recovery techniques, but the more the data is messed with the less likely recovery becomes. (Windows is constantly writing to empty blocks on the hard drive, so the longer you leave it running, the higher the chance that you deleted data will be overwritten. testdisk[^] can be used to analyse disks and restore deleted data. Connect the hard drive as a _secondary_ drive on a PC. and use testdisk to analyse it.

The problem is the ghost overwrote my whole disk! :((

:-) I liked it so much I upgraded to the paid version for the extra functionality, which was pretty cheap anyway.

Using the best Darth Vader imitation I can muster: "I find your lack of attention to detail disturbing..." Just chalk this one up to a dumbshit move and get on with your life. Your data is gone.

Yes, backup can only be performed when you have a secondary physical device to copy the information to.

After a while they all bug me :doh:

I suspect that you no longer have that problem. A second or external hard disc is cheap insurance.

Yep. Picked up a 320GB Western Digital MyBook yesterday at Target for $70. One can pick up a 1TB one for $250.

Nope, unless you use something like R-Studio. This might just be a painful lesson about the necessity of doing occasional backups.

Unless the image ghost wrote was 100% full it didn't overwrite your entire disk, and some of your data is potentially still out there (but without a FAT reference for the OS to find) for recovery tools to find.

Now, once I saw he ghosted over his data, and suggested R-Studio earlier, it is pretty much dust now and I second your suggestion

How much is that, and what does it give you?

You get quite a lot of additional functionality, see the Syncback Comparison[^]. It's only $30 and as I'm from the UK it's currently around £15. regards,

I do this: 1) Backup to separate installed hard drive (Every 3 days) 2) Backup to external hard drive (Every now and then, usually one per week) - I keep this drive with me most of the time as a offsite backup. 3) Backup to a 1Tb removable drive (About once or twice a month) All of this is done automatically using SyncBack. regards,

Online I've seen 1tb external drives on sale for half that.

Now that I remember, it was the 2TB one for $250. The 1TB was $150.
