I need some help. I created a Briefcase on an external drive that I could use
as a backup spot for my data files. When I moved the "My Documents" folder
into it, it deleted a lot of my files. I cannot find them in any search that
I do on any of my drives. Entire folders have been deleted as well as
individual files. I can't even begin to list what is missing until I begin
looking for specific things.

I need help recovering this information and some help in figuring out
working with a Briefcase did this.

Help! Quick!
