There appears to be a quirk with Time Machine on Macs, where iPhoto library is not being backed up. So I recommend that customers check their backups to make sure that Time Machine has backed up correctly. If they find that the backup does not contain the iPhoto library, then in future you need to make sure the iPhoto application is closed before Time Machine starts.

The Credit Crunch and it’s influence on Data Recovery
Dataquest has already started to see the influence the current state of the economy is having on the data recovery industry. We need to make sure that established and future customers are made aware of the options they have available to them when seeking out professional help for data loss. We are already aware that more DIY customers are attempting to recover their lost data themselves. This is where we need to work together with these customers to inform and educate them. This can a simple guideline on backup and basic data recovery.
WD Caviar Black -FAST 1TB
Finally. A 7200rpm drive with 1TB of storage from Western Digital. (Didn’t we already have one of those?) Anyway, they are touting this as the fastest 3.5″ SATA drive on the market. It does have a 32MB cache and a 5 year warranty so it may be a good choice for those wishing to up their storage capacity. I am starting to warm to Western Digital as their recent offerings seem to be stylish, fast and stable. (And I have one in my iMac that i would hate to have a failure!)
