Well, the good news is that I’ve learned a lot about making nice bootable backups of my MACs. The bad news is that I didn’t have one in place for my work laptop (which really had the most current data of all my machines). It’s not going to happen again and Gabe and Lisa have airtight backups at home now.

Considering the cost of drives these days, you may want to ask your boss or IT department if it is more affordable just to have a Firewire drive on your desk. I suppose there are information theft issues, but I question how any restore process could be as seamless.

Interlink (or Interstink as I’ve referred to them) lost my laptop from Sligo to Dublin. Apparently the shipping label came off the package??? Anyway, Mactivate has my machine, I’m just waiting to hear what data can be recovered.
