Yes, we really need that data... its all of her records from when she operated her own buisness for 4 years, if we ever get audited we'd be screwed. Additionally she teaches a class at a community college... grades for the whole semester are on there (not to mention past semesters)... she willing to pay her salary for the whole semester to get it recovered (~$2000).

It's $89.00 US, but that is a LOT cheaper than data recovery services.
