Who pulled the plug? My hard work has gone down the drain

I had done some pretty extensive posting on the June 8 review of all the entries competing in the Showcase and for some reason about half of it has completely disappeared. I have no idea how I could have saved something to have it disappear like that? Surely if someone had hacked me, I would have seen more damage than that?

So several hours work gets flushed. THAT SUCKS! I searched all the files on my computer, just hoping maybe there was a cached version of the eariler incarnation on this computer some place. What really sucks is that I had actually been copying every new review just before saving it, because I had already lost one review on an earlier save when my connection died during the save. So I was not taking any chances. But the whole thing had been adequately saved on my server with several of the now missing posts completely intact, so where are those reviews? Now I have to do them all over, again. But you can bet I will be copying the entire post before each save from this point on.

Thankfully, all the top rated entries' reviews are still there.
