Ouch.  Sorry to hear that!

You're very lucky.  Backing up data is very prudent, even if it is on a
server.  With hard drive capacities in the tens of gigabytes, there's so
much more to be lost in a hard drive crash.  I almost lost my web page and
all my source code when my school's server died!  Without backups, all
that source code would have been flushed.
