That's how I feel.
My condolences, but perhaps it is better that you learn the importance of back up copies with this document, rather than one of great commercial value for an employer or design that you are working on in the future.

As a teacher I occasionally have students ignore my oft-repeated lectures on the importance of back-ups, only to loose a file they have spent weeks preparing, and I can only advise them that if the only lesson they ever remember from my course is to make back-ups, then their time in the class was probably worthwhile.

It isn't a complete loss if you've learned something,

Jason
