Almost unbelievable...
"Data.fs" has the structure of a transactional log file,
i.e. each modification results in a transactional record
to be appended to "Data.fs". This is very robust
unless something truncates the file (or packs it).

You made regular backups of your "Data.fs"?
You should have; if not, start doing it now!

You can use "fsdump.py" to analyse the content of
your Data.fs. Attention, the output may be huge.
You are interested in the most recent transactions:
what is their time?
