Can your MB boot from this external drive? If so, you are golden.
Well, it can serve as data recovery.
I got a call from a RN that was writing up a huge document for the last 6 hrs and this was at 2100 hrs. There was no way in hell the computer would be unlocked. Not even the "3 finger salute" would work. Told her she had to reboot and hard. "Would I lose everything?" she says? "Only what you were working on since the last save". You could have heard a pin drop. This was something that was needed for a lawsuit the next morning and she hasn't saved it at all. She wanted another opinion. We called 3 other techs and none of them could help.
Moral of the story. Backup 1 min less than what you can spare time redoing. If you can spare 15 minutes to redo your work, back up every 14
