Which is $89...

Spoke too soon, Bruce. Data Rescue says quite clearly on its website that it will not recover deleted files in OS X.
Basically it works if your entire HD is hosed. But it will only recover files that had not been deleted. Not if you have 'accidentally' deleted some files.
In my case, I had done a rebuild of the iPhoto library (like I suggested to you a few months ago...).
Thing is, that left two copies of the iPhoto library in the Pictures folder. I put one in the trash and backed up the other... Then I forgot the other one was in the trash, and a couple of days later, having forgotten I had left the other library in there, I clicked on the trash and chose 'empty trash' out of habit... Needless to say, the new library was the one in the trash...
So now you know how NOT to backup...
Thanks anyway,
Walter
