IMHO this was just what Andrew does - for example!. "'recover', the 
Legato backup client" is _his_ backup solution ("These are the steps I 
follow ..."). If you haven't backed up your stuff with Legato, there is 
no need to try "'recover', the Legato backup client" at all ...

It is _always_ a clever idea to try backup/restore _before_ you have to 
use it! ;)
