Entourage crashed while I was putting information into a "note". Can I recover this information? I have an external harddrive which backs up my files, but I can't even find it on that.

Thanks,

Entourage crashed while I was putting information into a "note". Can I recover
this information? I have an external harddrive which backs up my files, but I

Entourage stores everything in a database. I suspect that the note was not
saved in the crash.

Using Time Machine to backup Entourage basics:

It's advised by the developers not to let Time Machine backup your Entourage
database. If the database is copied while being used, the backup could be
corrupt. You can set the Time Machine to exclude the Microsoft User Data
folder and create an iCal event to copy it over at night while not in use so
you get one backup daily in Time Machine.

Entourage and Time Machine-like backup (creates chronological backup of
Identity can be used by both Tiger and Leopard)
