Hard drive accidentally erased (no, it wasn't me!)
Some quiet swearing.
I spend the rest of the weekend alternating between frantically searching for my backups and questioning my sanity. I had the e-mail .pst backup because Roo had just made that one and I couldn't lose something that fast. I found the Picasa photo backup disk (boy, am I glad about that one!), but nothing else. I'm sure I made a backup a couple weeks ago. I think I made a backup a couple weeks ago. I know I looked at the files, thought about which ones I certainly wanted, and I thought I burned a data disk. I even have a vague memory of holding it in my hand.
But I can't find it.
And it's possible that it doesn't exist. That I only got as far as a certain point and that I didn't do the final burn, saving it for 'later'.
Except, I think I did do it.
Maybe.

Oh Ick...I hope you did back up and that you find it. If not, at least your intentions were good....
I hope you didn't lose any WRITING! That is my worst nightmare.
Sorry to hear that. I once lost 2 years worth of business records when my computer crashed. And the backup disc was corrupted. I re-entered 2 years worth of cancelled checks and data from bank statements. I cried a lot.
How awful. Good for you for keeping all those backups.
Fingers crossed!
