Hi,

I have some problems with retrieving data from my external drives. I would appreciate any advice.

I recently got a new lacie d2 drive to manually back up some of my laptop files prior to upgrading to OsX Tiger. I then did a clean install and to my horror, on dragging these files back quite a number of them could not be transferred due to errors. It would take a long time to manually transfer the files, many of which are photographs, word documents medical images and powerpoint presentations.

I had also been using the apple software "backup" to back these up as well to a second portable drive, but when I try to retrieve the data, it restores old files from September, even though I have done more recent backups, but those do not show up on the log anymore !

I did upgrade from backup 2 to 3 recently,

HELP !
