Backup (Umbrella)

I recently decided to wipe my mac and before i did so back it up. Now at this point i did not know that you had to use time machine so i just typed in backup and used the program called 'Backup' now after wiping my computer, i found that backup does not longer exist!

Now all my photos from the last 9 year are gone and everything that keeps my bussiness going!

Is there any where you can download it?

Is there are alternatives that can restore backups made by it?

Please help quickly, im at the end of my tether here!

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9), Used the 'Umbrella' Backup utility

can you be more specific.

You wiped your Mac with a program called 'backup' . yes?

then your data backups on Time Machine were wiped out, correct?

clarify.

Did you have an actual archive of this important data on another storage HD or otherwise? 😟

Did you back up your data to an online (cloud) service? If so, then your files should still be there; however, you'd have to know which service you backed it up too - I did a Google search and there are several such services offered. You might want to try that and see if you remember the name - of course, you'd also have to remember a login password.....
