Trying to avoid losing all your data in a HD crash
This is not replacing a good backup, but I just found a neat utility for Mac, SMARTReporter, which reports your hard drive’s S.M.A.R.T. status so that you can hopefully know before it’s too late that your HD is on its way out.
I don’t know if it would have helped my on my previous crash, but I’m willing to give it a try, and hopefully it will save me next time, or even better, the indicator is going to stay green and nothing is going to happen.
