“Diskwarrior" is a good tool to use in addition to “Data Rescue”. If you have to go as far as using “Disk Rescue” you have had some major problem and may not have been doing your backups routinely enough.
If you already have a safe-deposit box at a bank, you may want to consider using that as your offsite backup storage place. The idea being that you have a couple of backup drives, one at home and one in the bank. Every week or day depending on how much you think you can afford to lose, visit the bank and swap the drives. Then you aren’t trusting the internet with important backups. Yes it’s old school, but it works! Just my 2 cents for the day. ;-) Rick > On Dec 3, 2016, at 10:28 PM, Jerry Jensen <je...@jhjensen.com> wrote: > > Just one additional level of warning - if you keep Dropbox or Google Drive > online, malware can get there too.
