Well Shite, Fck, Damn, Piss, Hell.
Somehow a partition on my local backup drive was rewritten.
10 Terabytes of data gone. Family photos, docs, music, movies, porn all gone.
Downloaded a disk recovery program, so far it looks promising. It's finding file chunks.

I need a stiff drink, or two.
Some stuff is backed up in the cloud, but not music, or movies.

We've had Arq Backup operating here at Dismal Manor for several days as a diverse local and off-site backup service. The product looks solid. A solo practitioner develops and operates Arq Backup which is cross platform for Windows and MacOS.

Save Sets are compressed so data at the cloud provider is less than the data on disk. Also, Arg Backup is savvy to skip ephemeral files and there is a checkbox to skip the same stuff Time Machine skips.
