Hi @synthezoid
Sorry to hear that, but thank you for sharing about your experience.
Were there any other notable details when this occurred which you can add ?
Before attempting to restore from backup, did you have a chance to check if there was a caching issue ?
What version of WordPress were you on at the time when this occured ?
Similarly, for the plugin, do you recall whether it was in need of an update itself at the time, or had been using the last updated version of the plugin.
This should help contributors to the plugin with more ideas about how it behaves in different scenarios so anything at all you can recall could be useful.
