How to Recover a Replaced File on Mac Without Time Machine
I lost the original file's contents last week when I unintentionally saved a file over a very critical document. I looked for answers, and it turned out that Time Machine is my best bet, but it seems that it had to be running when the file was lost. So how can I get it back?
