Hey Macrumors!
I took on the project of recovering the data from a MacBook suffering a failing Hard Drive. I was able to make a clone using Data Rescue 3. After opening the .dmg file of the clone in DR3, I have access to the files and folders.
My question is how to automate the recovery of the data back into a MacBook which will contain a new Hard Drive and a fresh Install of Snow Leopard?
These are the items I'm concerned about:
All photos (They have been cataloged in iPhoto according to the customer)
All Music (The customer states he used iTunes for his music purchasing/management)
All Downloaded TV Shows/Movies that were purchased from iTunes
iTunes Backups of iPads and iPhones
I really don't want to have to go through 75GBs of files and folders to retrieve this data and put it on the new installation.
Thanks for your help!
