She thought she was backing things up, but apparently it didn't work out. Reading those blog entries for the three weeks while she was trying to get the stuff recovered (and it's expensive to even have someone look) was...awful.

That's a very scary story, and a lesson to be learned: a backup is only a backup if you can restore stuff from it (try it to be sure).
