[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1316078, member: 83420"] Time Machine is so easy to use and so reliable, that you should connect up an Ext HD NOW and back up. If the info on your Int HD is worth so much, consider an additional back up method such as a clone. I use SuperDuper!, others use Carbon Copy Clone (CCC). Whatever you do, use Time Machine and probably a clone as well. As regards data recovery — if you had to employ a company to do this, it would be very, very expensive. Moreover, they might fail to get all your data. There are downloadable apps which you could try first such as Diskwarrior; and there are others, of course. They don't always repair and retrieve. So, it's up to you. Back up or be prepared to lose it. I guess you know already that you can configure your Mac to go to sleep automatically according to your wishes — Preferences > Energy Saver then select your choices. Ian [/QUOTE]
