paralegal was working on a client's Filemaker Pro database with 
around 500 entries in it ref. the documents we have bates numbered 
etc.  Apparently, when she was OCR'ing documents a screen also popped 
up for Deleting the FMP database and when she meant to click the OCR 
dialog box she instead deleted the FMP database === lost all 500 
entries.  Obviously, she felt sick.  I felt worried, but relying on 
TimeMachine, thought there was an answer.

We opened up TM on the drive and went back an hour to the database 
and restored it = VOILA it came baack, with all 500 or so entries == 
I decided to Keep Both and we'll delete the bad one once we check the 
new restored one.  But so far so good....TM is great!!!  It took all 
of 3-5 minutes to do it, by the way.
