This is exactly right. A misconfigured backup script, or a pessimal chain of crashes, or a lot of other things could lose recent data. I wouldn't be shocked by data loss. This is decade of data. It should have been on in cold storage, on tested media, in multiple locations. No single error, or small chain of errors, should have enabled this to happen.
