my HD crashed a week ago, 2nd one in two months (different powerbooks, 1st was my 667 TiBook, 2nd was my 15" 1.5G Al PB. )

Backup worked perfectly when my TiBook HD took a dump, and when I got the new computer home, I was up and running in less than 1/2 an hour. Email, apps, iTunes, everything.

2nd time, not the same deal. Backup can restore my mail, iTunes, iPhoto or apps. The only thing it can find is my Documents folder.

I tried reinstalling the OS (10.3.3) then downloaded Backup from .mac, and ran it again. Nothing. When you click the files in Backup, nothing seems to be there. Backup says the last backup was successful. I'm severely bummed I just believed it.

Any suggestions?
