I have a backup drive that receives Time Machine backups for a MacBook Pro. The drive was dropped down a flight of stairs after being suddenly disconnected. Don’t ask, cats were involved.
I have replaced the backup drive and the laptop is happily Time Machining as it should with the new drive. The problem is that there is critical data on the most recent backup still lodged on the dropped drive. Okay, maybe it isn’t “critical” but it is darned important to me. The drive won’t power up at all but I can’t find physical evidence that the platters have been damaged. I’m hoping that y’all have some suggestions for how I might get to that most recent update and salvage my video files. Of the SO. On vacation. If you know me at all, you know why this is so important.
Let me know if you need more info.
