There's nothing like that sinking feeling after an accidental delete, disk crash, or otherwise losing data in some form. It's scary, even if you're running backups. Then to find the backups are bad is just about the worst feeling one can get. Then it becomes a treasure hunt through every hard drive in every computer you've ever owned.
Not fun at all. The kind of pain that brings a grown man to tears.

It's one thing to have backups and a backup system, but you need enough contingency planning forethought to test that your backups work on a regular basis - ideally by restoring to a secondary site in the case of catastrophic failure to your primary site (e.g. fire, earthquake).
