7. That's a wrap
An independent filmmaker was putting the final touches to his latest Western using his MacBook Pro when it started making odd noises and crashed.
Without a backup copy, he worried his year of hard work would go to waste but it was recovered and is now available internationally on DVD.
8. Swept away
A routine house clean went awry when a flash drive was sucked-up together with food crumbs by a vacuum cleaner.
It was so powerful that tracks from the drive were pulled from the circuit board and the connector was torn loose.
9. Baby teeth
Kroll Ontrack received an SD card from a camera with lots of teeth marks on it. The customer indicated a 'wild animal' had got hold of it and chewed it.
The wild animal he was referring to was his two-year-old son.
10. Dog gone wild
A rowdy dog knocked a portable USB drive off a coffee table, rendering it unreadable by the family's computer. At stake were five years of family photos.
Fortunately, all of those who suffered had their data restored by Ontrack Data Recovery's engineers.
