Hope you have success in salvaging at least part of your library Ellachanted.
I'm starting to wonder if we need to ask kovidgoyal to add a user feature "When to backup" that we set. Something we could set as number of hours or number of days from last backup (or off) that would have a message displayed (maybe starting to flash after it's ignored too long) that it is time to backup.
I've lost count of the number of people who have lost hours/weeks/months of work because they had no current backup when their library became corrupted. This is assuming that their backup has been checked and if in good form and working!
One other thing I have noticed is that most users post here after trying many things, some of which render other possibilities impossible. Perhaps we are in need of a sticky of the steps to take when confronted with library failure messages. Something people would be able to read when their library fails before they start deleting thing, re-adding their library from the library directory etc.
