With all the experts on here telling me to do what I've already done & ignoring my statements regarding what I KNOW is happening, I'm beginning to wonder if some of you think This is impossible. I, in fact, KNOW it is possible because the people I tracked and identified, returned immediately to retrace their steps & leave the same footprints while they deleted the files they thought were not backed up. Viruses & bugs don't go after specific files within your firewall, security program, and delete the very files you spoke of a few minutes earlier, and disable the firewall tracking program that recorded those packets & trace files, then leave you alone....? This is not random digital munching machine eating bits off the d. It was strategic, exact, timely, & methodical. But you're right. Attempting to educate some of you regarding even the possibility of this, is like trying to prove God exists. Until you KNOW, you don't know. I hope this doesn't come your way just to prove me right.
