Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

Anyone worked on one of these yet? Seems to pose some unique issues related to the way time machine links files. Particularly when the image has missing or broken file systems, I have not yet found a repair program that understands time machine linked files.

The last Time Machine I saw had a Deskstar E7K500 in it. As far as the files, there is a specification in the developer section of apple's website. I don't know how detailed or accurate it is, but it's pretty in depth. I'll look for it and post a link if I can find it again.

Specifically I am running into issues with the fact that time machine hardlinks directories.

I have not had the DISpleasure of working with this yet, but I am always interested in things I have not yet experienced!
Keep us updated if you got a solution

You mean Time Capsule, don't you? Time Capsule is an external NAS drive. Time Machine is the backup software used.

No, Time Machine is the MAC equivilent of System Restore, am i right?

I mean drives that have data on them that was put there by Time Machine, the Mac OS 10.5 program. This could be a Time Capsule, yes, but it could equally be a random LaCie or whatever other drive.
The issue is not related to the hardware, but to the way that Time Machine handles data. Anyone interested in chatting about it feel free to send me a PM.
