[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1630038"] Yes, I'm a little befuddled about the need to recover backups. They're backups, not original material, so who cares if they are lost? Everything you have that's worth keeping is still on the boot drive, or should be. Certainly in this case you lose the ability to go back and retrieve something you've trashed, but after two years that's a non-issue IMO. As for recovery, if that is really needed, DriveSavers may be able to help you. Last time I checked, they run $1,500-2,500 for typically-sized drives -- but that was some years ago, when typical drive sizes were smaller. [/QUOTE]
