I would just add, that it would be useful to tell us about your environment (OS + version, dedicated or virtual, etc.).
For example, I don't take backups of my VM's, but I know that I have a Time Machine backup of my Mac, so if push came to shove, I could get the VMDK files back, and recover my files another way.
Knowing as much about your setup could help someone help you.
