Get their current hard drives and see if the installed dates match the fail dates. Are there any files with time stamps before the original drive failed. All those drives failed and NONE could be salvaged? Pretty poor effort to restore.
No one brought this up and I can’t understand why? Explain to me why no asked if she had personal backups? No sane person in any position of authority doesn’t backup to portable drive or usb device. There is no way any reasonable person would not backup other files or trust 2 years of work product to an aging hard drive.
Not one person has asked if she or an IT person had made back ups to other devices and I can’t fathom why? She should have lost not just emails, but spreadsheets, word docs, presentations, etc.. etc.. I call bull on no other backups.
