Well, there's still the backup file, but if you've saved twice since the bug hit, you've lost that, too. My experience with all sorts of computer backup systems is that one never loses data when only one of them fails -- it always takes multiple failures, and the risk of 3 layers of backup failing is much higher than you'd think -- precisely because a human being is involved! -- David W.
