Acronis 8 disaster
I setup a laptop for my daughter with Acronis 8 (ex my own laptop).
She is now abroad and attempted to do her first backup recently and wanted to backup an external drive onto her C drive. I suspect that she has accidentally cloned her external drive over her operating system and all. Is there any way this disaster can be undone?

Hi Anton,
Thanks for your reply. I think I knew what the answer would be - she never did a back up, silly girl. I just wondered if any of these recovery programs would rescue anything for her? - possibly a little - but getting her to remove her hard drive is unlikely so she has just learned a hard lesson.

Hello Mary Consolvo,
Thank you for getting back to me. I am very sorry for disappointing you, Acronis software cannot do anything at this point because there was no valid backup. There are of course, third party utilities that allow to recover data, but from my experience, it is a painstaking and an expensive procedure without a 100% guarantee of success.
Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.
Thank you.
