In a business situation with data representing many man-hours, I don't blame you.

I actually did have a problem with LF -- After recovering my data (which it did perfectly) I was unable to access the space on my hard-drive where the data had been. Now I have a 2.7G drive where I used to have a 3.2G... PowerQuest said it wasn't their fault. <G> They also said I should try PartitionMagic to recover the missing space. I demoed it and seems like it might work, since it sees the missing space.

OTOH, a guy on the dream thread recently had a PartitionMagic drive-crash, and now he needs LF <VBG>

"If something happened that my
company lost all the data on a hard drive that was not backed up for some time, I
would rather send it to the experts who recover data every day, than try and do it
myself."

Good point. Although the cost can sometimes be prohibitive, it's often much better to send it to the experts. Then again, if (as you say), you have a good backup plan in place, that scenario should never arrise.
