well, i wish the speedy recovery of your hd, and the data on it.. However, maybe this is a wake up call to get some sorta cron job to back the CVS up onto an external server every 24 hours if possible.. People dont have to have access to it, but its just somewhere where its safe ;)

Would certainly save you a headache..

Thanks for the update :)
