even the backup shows as corrupted OMG i was outta town but my vps were mining for like 5 days all those coins gone. there were 217 vps mining in ypool alllll coins gone. what can i do now.
I would immediately shutdown the PC (so as not to overwrite older versions in random sectors) and use something like Spinrite or another free data recovery software to see if youj can recover an old version of the file. It's a long shot but loosing thousands of coins might be worth a shot. Good luck!
Agree. First sign my SSD was failing a couple years ago was the bitcoin blockchain cache having to re-download. A few pokes at the drive later and I was cloning it and doing an RMA.
You should be able to recover a wallet if you have any valid backup of it, correct? If it's a windows machine you may have "previous versions" of the file, even if you don't have any good real backups.
Spinrite is also worth it even if you don't normally try to repair your own computers.
