Wouldn’t be the first time something like this happened. If I recall correctly, there was also a gmail data loss issue a few years back?

Edit: ok, it was in 2011, which is a bit more than just a few years. http://edition.cnn.com/2011/TECH/web/03/01/gmail.lost.found/...

Yes, it has happened before. BTW, they guarantee nothing. So don't expect any other help than "Sorry we'll try to do better."
