Hello,

I recently shot a wedding movie in which the following day, I transferred from my cards to a Western Digital My Passport 1TB external drive, via my rMBP.

I've lost the footage.

This is an unbelievably huge emergency, and I'm curious as to how this may have occurred... I eject the HD from my rMBP before disconnecting, and everything to keep it safe, and it's gone. All I have left is a folder titled "0000000000496b8e" with no data.

I'll be losing a lot of money if there's no way to restore backups from this drive.

If anyone knows any possible way to backup data from either the HD or the SanDisk Extreme 32gb SD cards, please help.

Thanks,

Matt Xi
