Our cams take approx 100,000 pics per day. Those get saved to the server (on the harddrive that failed). I then spend countless hours sorting through them, saving the best ones, and discarding the rest. Then I post my picks to my live site. Because of the sheer volume, I am usually a month or so behind the current date.
It's too much data to store all of it forever, so the drive that failed was sort of temporary buffer space. I still don't know why my host did not back up this drive.
The ones I had saved already are safe. The ones I hadn't gotten to yet are gone.
It's weeks or months of content.. girls having sex, baring breasts, showering, partying, etc and all irreplaceable.
I still have 3+ years of hand picked archives. But it is a huge blow to lose all the more recent stuff.
