Augeas, I know a normal scan indicates a file by its name and path if available; and also a deep scan indicates a file by a number and extension. But both scans will find the same number of deleted files, right? And nukecad, what you are saying makes sense; but the number of hours a deep scan takes makes it prohibitive to me. I want to thank both of you for replying. I guess the three cardinal rules of computing; backup, backup, backup is right. Again, thank you both very much. I can be so dense.
