Thanks, Steve. Wish that it were so. Unfortunately it seems not to be. Yesterday afternoon I downloaded StellarPhoenixMacDataRecovery and set it to work scanning for photo files. It churned away till about 7:30 AM this morning. The result? "No data found." I take that as final and conclusive. [I didn't have to pay for the app to run it on my drive. If it'd found anything I would have had to pay for it to recover it.] In my initial post yesterday I asked how this could have been avoided. I have two thoughts: [1] Trust Time Machine, which accumulates backups till the drive being used runs out of space. [My daily backups to two drives, which provided only two days of backups, was worthless.] [2] Don't leave your database unattended for extended periods of time. Visit frequently. If I had done both of this, especially the second, I would not have experienced this disaster. Thanks again to all who responded.
