For me it was the hard drive in my laptop which failed so I drove it to the data recovery specialists I located about 70 miles from me in Surrey and a couple of days later they called to confirm they had the lot and for £650 plus vat its mine. (no obligation!) I paid it.

I now have 3 points of back up running automatically. 2 online vaults and an external HDD.

Lesson learn't for me.

Hope you are able to recover your memories.
which online service do you use please?

the way women panic about this sort of thing you'd think they were about to lose far more than just some digital numbers, no sense of perspective about the real world where people are losing their homes and lives to floods, wars etc

it would be very annoying though, and expensive as i converted all my cds and dvds and gave them to charity shops
