Hi Richmond, Glad to hear that you've been able to rescue most of your files. The Data Rescue programme I use is imaginatively called 'Data Rescue' by Prosoft. I don't think it would help in your case as I don't think the Mac version can recover non-Mac HDs. The reason I mention it is that it has a feature called 'FileIQ', so you drag a .livecode file onto FileIQ, it then learns the structure of an LC file, then you can Start Data Rescue to search all similar such files on a HD. I'm sure it wouldn't be the only Disk Rescue programme that supported such a feature.
Good luck. PS. Every single LC stack I create, no matter how large, small, trivial or world changing, sits in a suitably named folder within a generic folder 'my stacks' which lives on my Google Drive. I have plenty of back-up options (as covered by Richard) as I just can't afford to loose a HD, but for reasons I can't explain, for LC Stacks I feel it necessary to have quadruple redundancy back-up. Some one on this List mentioned using Dropbox or Google Drive as a working location for their stacks, and since following that advise I've been most thankful. No fuss, no thought, works a treat. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
