Sheila, In Legacy 7.5 and earlier versions we frequently experienced users who accidentally deleted their entire family file. Thinking they were deleting just one father-mother family with kids, they would click on File > Delete Family File and confirm the deletion. Their whole family file (.fdb) would then be sent into the Recycle Bin. Usually restoring from the Recycle Bin would get everything back or they could restore from their backup file and get everything back. The only permanent losses were a few people who emptied their Recycle Bins before contacting us and only backed up very infrequently, like once every month or two. I recently helped a user restore from a backup. The most recent one he had was six months old.
