Yes trust me in feels like that.I lost most of my mower manuals and stacks of photos.It's very disheartening when so many years of ones digital life is taken from you.So many many hours of sorting and scanning manuals gone.Some of which where others that had sent me copy's and I'll be hard pressed to get again.I did question on whether to start again,and decided yep but this time backing up twice now.Wasn't good.
