Replays deleted?

Hey, I'm writing this in the hope that I'm wrong. It appears that over two years worth of my replays were deleted at some point (I'm guessing when starcraft did that "game optimization" procedure). I had "save all replays" checked and even saved all my replays manually before that. I had literally thousands of them, many with my close friends.

Did this happen to anyone else? Did the optimizer perhaps move them to an "old replays" folder or something? Is there anyway to get them back? Can we let blizzard know that it should ask before deleting our replays in the future?

Aw, man, that sucks, I really hope you can manage to get them back.

The last time I formatted by PC, I only copied the shortcut to the replay folder and not the folder itself (oops), and I ended up losing about two years of replays too. Really sad

What about System Restore points? You probably have one from some Windows update or driver installation or something. I think that restores everything about the C: volume since Windows Vista, not only stuff in the Windows folder. Or do you have some backup scheme running? Windows 7 should have pestered you to set up a schedule of weekly backups (or even hourly backups of your Documents library with Windows 8 and File History), just like it pesters you to install antivirus software.
