[Shotimes] OT: file recovery utilities

[Paul Nimz]

I have 3 HDs, one is twice as large as the other two.  I use a free program
called Mr. Mirror V 1.3 that will copy eveything that has changed to the other
harddrive.  It has ways to specify what you want to copy and how to prevent
coping special folders.  It can also be automated.  I can get the OS up and
running again but I cannot get back lost data.
