    :-) 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.

                    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

                          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,

                                      No, they certainly don't. The MyBook will probably be sufficient. The K.I.S.S. principle is the m.o. around here :)

                                        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.

                                        Once he wrote new data to the drive, he pretty much destroyed any chance of retrieving old files. Of course, he could pay thousands of dollars to a data forensics expert to try to regain the lost data, but he would be a) paying to much, and b) wasting his time.

                                          Unless I misunderstand what ghost does with blank space in the image some of the data is potentially still there. Assuming a 10 sector drive with pre-accident data in sectors 0-6 and 7-9 empty that was overwritten with an image that had data in sectors 0-2 with 3-9 empty, the data in sectors 3-6 should still be written on the drive but not linked to in the NTFS FAT replacement.
