I know exactly how you feel, TestDisk saved 3 years of data for me
several months ago.

Are you implying that you went for three years without backing
up your important files? Mmh. I'd say you've just about used up
your good luck.

Well if you classify 4zillion photos of Crissy Moran as "important" I
guess yeah, I never back up pics, music or zip files that can be
replaced.

It's encouraging to read that you gave some thought to the matter
and decided that your files are replaceable. Most posters in this
forum chose to wait until they suffer a major hit, then send out a
distress call ["Help me, pleeeeeeeeease, I've lost my irreplaceable
wedding pics"], then think about their backup philosophy. Perhaps
getting a new wife/husband would be less traumatic . . .

You make a good point, however most windows systems are preconfigured -by
default- as single drives, poorly secured, with unreliable backup tools, no
backup strategy, and critical data scattered all over the place. The cry
should be, "Help me, pleeeeeeease, some idiot designed a time bomb and sold
it to me as an operating system."
