extents may not have been overwritten, so data can be recovered. Only
remains to find one who can do the work. I would start with opening a
case with Microsoft. So much is clear, this would be very expensive.

re: dropped tables

We Restored from the last backup 12 hours prior...
and was able to rebuild the missing Rows , based on log entries....was a lot
of parsing and re-construction, but managed to get almost all re-built...so
were ok

thanks for all the advice
