A really expensive way to learn to practice the old, tried and tested 
adage, "BACKUP! BACKUP! BACKUP!". (13 years of data, eh?)

(But I also read only a few days ago somewhere - ?here? - where one 
person makes a backup of his/her data onto a USB and then puts it in the 
glove box of his/her car and calls this "offsite storage" of the backup 
of the valuable data. But anyway.......)
