[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 97327, post: 1037522"] I used a data syncing program in stead of a backup program which stored file version in AddData User folders (syncback free compares an original and a backup copy just before it does a backup/synchronize/image copy) . I did not know that program (forgot its name) did store a file version index in the AppData User folder. After trying out a security program, I decided to rollback to a previous image. Then when I backup holiday pictures to my shock and awe I noticed that the syncing program was deleting files because I restored an older version of its file version index (because of the image recovery). All photo's taken with a camera were lost from our 5 week india Holiday. Happy wife, happy life was at arctic temperatures for around a week. I managed to recover 2/3 of the deleted images with a image recovery program I bought. I immediately de-installed that syncing program and replaced it with Syncback free. I also keep 2 USB disk copies since that disaster. :sick: I think it was in 2015 when it happened. [/QUOTE]
