Okay, here's the situation. I've deleted a file. Unfortunately, I've overwritten the file with a new version, so it's not in the trash can. Fortunately, I back up my system daily (actually twice daily, but who's counting?). Unfortunately, said file is on my iDisk, which is not explicitly backed up (Retrospect is the backup software, if that makes a difference). Fortunately, my iDisk is synchronized with a local copy, which if I recall correctly is a .dmg file somewhere in my home directory (maybe in the ~/Library/ folder?).
So, if I want to get the file back, do I just restore the iDisk image file from that day it was backed up on, mount the disk image in the Finder, and grab the file? Could it be that easy?
Frankly, I could live without this particular file (it's a #@$%#$ grocery list from two weeks ago), but it would be nice to see if this works as a proof of concept.
