Last month I did a backup of my daughter's Macbook to a WD MyBook external drive.
This week my daughter's Macbook developed some boot-up issues and a trip to the Mac Store has revealed that she has lost all her files (or they can't be recovered)
Last night I connected the MyBook to her Macbook hoping the restore would be easy - I was wrong.
Using DIsk Utility - Restore - I see the backup no problem - but when I select the Image box to select the source for the backup - I can't find the file that I need to select to initiate the restore.
I have tried using the WD Software that comes with the MyBook - but under Retrieve - this doesn't see the backup when I connect to my daughter's Macbook.
Can anyone help me retrieve her vital files please.
Thanks in advance.
