Sorry for your loss, man.
You shouldn’t treat laptops as your primary data store, reliable as they may be. You might drop the laptop accidently and kill the HDD, for example. I have a habit of putting every file of any value on both my home desktop and my laptop, and synchronizing religiously (at least 3 times per week). I use Unison over SSH to sync between the machines. Extremely important files (SSH/PGP keys, copies of personal documents, etc.) also get synchronized to a machine at work. I know I should burn CDs every once in a while, but I’m too lazy to do that (last personal files CD I burned was in 2003).
Moral of the story: backup, backup, backup.
Oh so bad …!
10 yrs of data .. i’ really feeling sorry!
