Before you start preaching about email addresses, you should look at who you
are on this post. I would never post an email address here, as I don't want
the spam.
As for your problem, it sucks to lose data, but the computer world is FULL
of arning about backing up your data! There is an entire segment of the IT
world that is dedicated to backing up data. If you lost your data, it is
your fault for not having it backed up. I have way too many experiences as
a technician that people try to make it my problem that THEY lost THEIR
data. Even if you backup your data bi-weekly or weekly, the most you would
have lost would have only been since that last backup (bi-weekly would be a
max of 2 weeks).
