all data deleted after electricity going out

[MohamedKhaled]

hi guys ..... I was just sitting happily when electricity came out for 10 seconds ... once it was back ... I opened my pc to find that the data of all my programs are deleted (for some reasons chromium didn't get deleted) anyway that data included UGET which deleted all my download list and progress ... remove customization ..etc any help??? don't want this to happen again

Why is this sitting in Security and Bug Fixes? On Topic is surely a more suitable Section.

Hi,

I'm new to Linux myself, so I can't offer any advice regarding recovery short of reinstalling.

However, I do run my computer setup on a battery-backup uninterruptible power supply (UPS).  The make I use is and American Power Convertors (APC) Back-UPS ES 700.  It not only provides around 30 minutes of battery-sourced mains in case of a power cut, but also immediately kicks in in the event of drop-outs and power surges.  It has saved my equipment several times in the last 18 months.  That would at least reduce the risk of it happening again.

Take care,
Ian
