Hi James, It' possible, because all things break or go wrong (eg. cars, computers, planes, etc.) for a multiplicity of reasons and 100% perfection is not possible. In your case the cause might of been:
* A computer operating system crash. * A power outage or spike. * An aging drive. * The list of possibilities goes on and on. Backing up computer files is akin to wearing a seatbelt on a plane; inconvenient, not perfect protection, but can be helpful in an emergency. I can understand your frustration, but unless you have a backup of your file there is no solution to your issue.
