Restoring imported files from backup

I have a major crisis on my hands.

Late last year i filmed a freelance project for a customer and imported all the video onto my computer. A couple of weeks later i changed jobs, and did a full backup of my computer before i returned it to my employer. Now however i can't seem to be able to find any of the imported material. Can anyone please halp me?

I believe the import was done in FCP 6. Out of the 1 hour plus imports i can only find a few minutes worth on the backup.

I have the customer breathing down my neck, so would really appreciate any help or advise at this point. Thank you.

S-kill:

1. Are you sure you initially imported the media to your system drive, and not an external drive?
2. When you say you found a "few minutes" worth, where was this video as far as file structure in the backup?
3. Have you done a search of all .mov files on the backup, just to make sure it didn't archive to a different area of the drive?
