In preparation for upgrading to Mac Tiger yesterday I experienced a
directory structure implosion :-( Several of my apps, including my
Office X suite had to be reinstalled.
Before doing this, I located my Microsoft User Data file for Entourage
and saved it out to another location. But the "last opened" and
"modified" dates on that file both showed August of 2004 even though I
have used Entourage daily since then.
When I finally opened Entourage after reinstalling, all my personal
folders were gone, no rules, no signatures, etc. For some reason it
seems to have re-created the user data file to be 9 months ago instead
of when it was actually last used.
My question: Is that data file ANYWHERE else in the OS X structure,
buried deep in the UNIX underpinnings? Anyway to get back to the newer
version of the file using the Terminal or anything?
The info in my personal folders should have been backed up, of course,
but wasn't. It's not completely irreplaceable, but it represented
several months of very good info from two subscription lists. Sure
would be nice to get it back.
Help anyone?
Thanks!
