Help! Accidentally formatted hard disk with data on it (Macintosh)

Wow.

Dude, drives are so so so so cheap now, for me, there really is no excuse for not having the following:

- main drive
- mirrored bootable backup of that drive (so you can carry on working when your drive dies)
- cloud storage back up (so you can access your shit whereever you are)
- physical off site back up (for when your place is robbed or burns down)

How much would the 250 gig of content you might have just lost cost to replace? I wager more than the 20 bucks a spare 250 gig drive would cost!

I know this isn't helping you and I'm not meaning to sound harsh but if you don't have a back up and redundancy for that back up, when drives are so damn cheap then it's a bit silly, really.

Let us know how the recovery goes though...
