This is why it is important to back up to more than one location.

Eschew single backups.

Catastrophes caused by idiocy that are blamed on the computer, yes.

So have I. I once erased many TB of data with amispalced space in a
backup script. While transfering another chunk of TB of data from a
failing drive to a backup, both drives went tits up. It's not fun.

Right, but with proper backups you should never lose much data at all.

In this case there is a backup, but E-wassit seems to not want to talk
about why s/he/it is not using it and also claims it doesn't contain any
data, only apps. Which is absurd.
