Title:
  about 40GB of data (music, pictures, ebooks) lost after update

Status in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  After an  update I allowed on december 8th, I discovered that 4 of my most important folders were gone completely, and could not be restored by whatever actions. 
  In these folders were about 40GB of valuable data.
  I tried to get a restore point working, but it didn't work out, so that this data seems lost.
  I would appreciate any information concerning how to recover/ restore the data!

  1) Ubuntu 11.04
  2) unknown
  3) I only expected an update, and did certainly NOT expect so many data to vanish completely!
  4) As mentioned before, valuable data got lost, and could not be restored, neither using a restore point, nor by any other measures.
