Windows 10: Recover Formatted Drive

We say "it can never happen to me", until it does...the unthinkable!!! I have a WD external 1tb backup drive that has my families archive on it. Everything. 20 years worth of backups. This is the cruel, cruel ironic part of this tragic tale - I got a second WD external 1tb backup drive, and I was finally getting around to backing up my backup. Been telling myself for years to get this done. I was literally in the process, the beginning anyway, of being responsible. Somebody gave me the second drive so, naturally, I wanted to start by formatting it.&nbs
