I worked at a computer repair company, and a client of ours was using Yosemite to back up their server.
Their copy had a corrupted database and needed to be reinstalled before we could pull any data. Well when they needed to restore a deleted file from one of the backups, it took me 6 hours to get it taken care of. I was on the phone with Dell tech support working out the problem. I give credit to Dell tech support. Though it took a long time they did not give up till it was fixed.
So I decided to try and help people from spending hours on the phone an present the solution here.
I present it two stages, Stage 1: Importing the media. Stage 2: Recovering data.
