Non-Amiga geeks make a boo boo

QuarterBack Tools is a set of HD utilities for Amiga. One of them works much like undelete utils for Dos and windows. Once you launch Quarterback, I think you'll choose the "Recover" option and then it will prompt for additional info. (Been a while since I used it) As for being intuitive.... I would say ehhhhhh, more so for some than others. But it should'nt be hard to work it out.

Since you aborted a slow copy, not all of the data may be recoverable though. How are your backups stored? I'm guessing it's your data only on floppies and the apps weren't backed up.

Hey, look what I found.... Quarterback on Ebay
But that seems pricey to me for an older version. Maybe some one here has a better deal.

Looks like Software Hut still carries both utilities.... DiskSalv 4
And the same site with QuarterBack... Quarterback 6.1 ... bit more $$ for the new copy.
I think each will run directly from the floppy once your booted up.

You say you have another Amiga with the same data. It's not hard to move data from one drive/system when you know how. But as a newbie, you need find some one local to help you or maybe think about shipping the drive/computer to an expert if the data is that critical. I wouldn't recommend risking the data on the second system trying to figure it out.

BTW, my in-laws are originally from Jamestown. Lots of snow there in the winter I understand. :-P

Hey, I just relized that we've missed some thing important here as we're all focused on helping with this data retrieval......

Their system was set up by a man who recently passed away.

:-(

Did our fellow Amigan have a name? We've sadly lost a few other members over the past few months as well.
