so i backup my files and it finishes but i reclixk into my hard drive and all the files disappeared? it’s a new drive?? thats thr only copy i have of my work files as my pc just died in a fire, any help?

It sounds like you accidently clicked “move files” instead of “copy files.” I would recommend restoring from your backup that you just made
