Chief among the most impactful losses resulting from the theft of my computer back in November 2004 were the loss of our 2004 digital photos, as well as the loss of our genealogical data that had been compiled over a number of years (beyond any paper records that still exist).
Though I had previously searched extensively (2004 backup missing, presumed stolen, 2003 backup corrupt), last night, while looking for something else entirely, I found a 2001 backup of our genealogical data. It was a huge relief. It's still missing three years worth of updates, but at least I don't have to start from scratch.
I had been procrastinating the re-building of that genealogy resource thinking it was such a major task, but now that I've got a baseline, I have already spent hours on updates, with many hours of updates in my near future. In a way, this is like an early Christmas gift.
