Hi!
I recently purchased a new Mac. I have a secure folder on an external drive. Prior to moving to the new Mac I looked up how to transfer the drive to the new Mac and understood that I needed to copy the folder Library->Application Support->com.taoeffect.Espionage3 to the same location on the new computer. I did this and managed to successfully unlock the folder. Everything looked good, so I reformatted the drive on the old computer.
NOT the drive that the secure folder was on, just the main HDD on the old Mac.
Yesterday I updated my version of OS X to 10.11.4 beta 2, which may have been a mistake. When I tried to unlock the folder today I get an error saying the file "F7355OF3-2B6E-473F-92EF-D31AA4EAAD12.sparebundle" could not be opened because there is no such file. It should be here: /volumes/LaCie/F7355OF3-2B6E-473F-92EF-D31AA4EAAD12.sparebundle
But here is the kicker. I didn't make any changes to the LaCie drive, so if that file ever existed on /volumes/LaCie, it should still reside there now. I also copied that folder com.taoeffect.Espionage3 to a thumb drive and looking there and in my folder in Application Support, the contents are identical.
Which is to say a folder called Backups with several backups; a folder called Data with 5 sparse bundle files, none of them with the name Espionage is looking for and a Temp folder with for sub-folders called _Rescued Items, Rescued Items_1, etc. Also in the root are Exec files database3 and license.
I tried downloading iVisable as was suggested in some other threads and looking for a hidden file of interest. But nothing. Not in the com.taoffect.Espionage3 folder or the LaCie drive.
Any help in recovering would be appreciated!
Thanks!
