Where was the backup copy of these items you didn't want to lose?

Hi Guys - I have recently bought a Toshiba Satellite which included a demo version of Nero - the first time I connected my LaCie external hard drive, Nero automatically backed up the laptop, deleting the contents of my hard drive in the process. I had loads of family photographs on the LaCie and am absolutely gutted. Is this recoverable - I have tried a using a recovery software to no avail - is it possible to recover these files and if so - what is the best way to sort?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Walt
