Thu, 28 Feb 2008 14:11:27 +0000 http://www.marlyse.com/2006/11/15/recovery/#comment-58013 [...] The application I found which saved me from rolling up into a ball and to give up was from Stellar Phoenix. It was the ONLY application that was able to find the deleted disk image! And not only to find it but to be able to figure out the folder structure and to retaining this when recovering. As my disk image when expanded was larger than 2 gigabyte I ran into some additional (Mac) problems but I received exceptional support from that company, including a long distance phone call and in the end I was probably able to recover 4/5 of the original data. You can read more on the original stupidity and following recovery on my personal blog - more than a year later it does seem all pretty funny.

And of that I was able to copy and recover 71 GB - the main things which failed were some types of aliases and then 1 specific folder was only fluff and disappeared when I clicked on to it - and it's this site, yes, marlyse.com with all it's sub-stuff and that could have easily mounted to 1 GB of data. Not sure exactly what I lost, the latest version is here and live, safe in Dallas and online - but I know I was going to fix my photo gallery and possibly, but hopefully not, the backup of that broken gallery was in this specific folder. But even if so, the pain is small compared to the remaining 71 GB which have been saved. Well, it was more than 47 GB – once the sparse disk image was mounted it was 72 GB of data.
