I'll join the chorus of people who've done something similar. In my case it was the database of a small e-commerce site, where I'd taken a backup and then formatted the database server to reinstall it. What I hadn't realised was that the backup script was set to dump to the OS drive, so in the process I'd also just formatted the backup. Thankfully one of our developers had a recent copy of the database locally, but it definitely wasn't my finest hour.
