I would totally have done that but she's going through a nasty divorce and was afraid of secret key logging software having been installed, so I wanted to give her peace of mind that after restoring just the selective data, that there would be no possibility of that being installed on her computer anymore. But yeah, it would have helped to have a copy of the cloned image on an external to recover the calendar from, if anything. Maybe this is not the correct way to think about it, but to clone every customers drive that is getting a reformat would probably add a week or two of time to every year I do business. Sure it's set and forget, but my turn around times are important to people also.Over 6 years of doing this professionally for myself, I may have missed something else somewhat important perhaps one other time, but we obviously realize it's pretty hard to be 100%.I bought Stellar Phoenix which was $100.. or the cost of her repair. One of the things it can do it find data from formatted drives.I know it costs nothing, and even my elderly customers have all of their stuff synced from their Macs to their phones. Like I said, it's harder to avoid associating these things with some sort of account.Anyways, about to remote back in and see if I can do anything with the data I've recovered. She just told me she's kept that Calendar as a journal to document every day of hers and her kids life, etc etc. She's no pro at syncing but can certainly take me on this guilt trip like no other <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
