Actually I was talking about the idiot at my workplace who didn't backup the 
300GB of files that I had to recover from that NTFS partition in my previous 
example. There wasn't another backup at all, so any data we lost (about 5 meg 
in all - not bad out of about 300GB) was totally irrecoverable. Fortunately, 
of this, about 2 meg wasn't important (easily recovered from elsewhere), but 
the remainder was lost for good. Even an old backup would have been 
preferrable to the loss of data in this case.

Sorry if this caused any confusion.
