• My abusive ex-boss emailed me today asking for code I already provided when I left “by tomorrow”. I quit this job four months ago.

  GetDataBack is a GUI program that is also quite powerful, but I haven't used it in many years, so YMMV. And it requires purchase to actually copy out the "maybe recoverable" data. Source: over 1 year ago

• Created new Partition over my existing Backup Partition while migrating to Windows 11

  You tried to absolutely useless tools. It does not mean better software can actually recover the data but it should at least be tried before making assumptions about recoverability of the data. Scan with for example R-Studio (r-tt.com) and GetDataBack (runtime.org). If these come up empty handed as well then it does not look too good. Source: about 2 years ago

• Hey i could use some helpful info DMDE

  It sounds like you used an external drive for Media Creation Tool target. Unfortunately this writes enough data to the drive to largely overwrite file system structures that were on that drive. It depends on for example file system somewhat if partial file system based recovery is possible, DMDE might not be best tool for that. If file system was NTFS you may want to try GetDatBack from runtime.org. Source: about 2 years ago

• Attemping to upgrade internal ssd by cloning internal ssd through 'restore' in DiskUtility. It's not letting me click the drop down in "restore from". Any help to move forward?

  I would forget about using the Disk Utility Restore function and download a 30 trial copy of Carbon Copy Cloner which can clone your internal SSD to the new external one. Just be advised you will need to use the Legacy option to make the clone since the default CCC cloning function now is “Data Only”. To select the legacy option Click on the Destination selector and choose "Legacy Bootable Copy Assistant". Source: 10 months ago

• Best checksum program for Mac

  If you're willing to switch programs, I believe Carbon Copy Cloner does verifications as well. Source: 10 months ago

• ThinMachine – A $25 Thin Client macOS Time Machine Appliance

  My advice to retain your sanity: stop using Time Machine and use Carbon Copy Cloner [0] instead. It works. It keeps working. It has excellent documentation for any possible backup and restore cases. It is transparent about what it is doing. Time Machine works fine until it doesn't. And it won't tell you that a backup is broken until you try to restore from it. The errors are going to be cryptic. There is going to... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
