I woke up this morning and was going to work on my site but the second I logged in, I saw that all my recent posts have been deleted, as well as all recent drafts.
It looks as if the site simply went back in time two weeks or something, apparently losing me a lot of work.
I have no idea how this could have happened.
Is there an easy fix to restore the losses? There was quite a bit of work put into this... Thank you.

It also turned previously published posts into the draft state they were in 2 weeks ago, both unfinished and categorized as drafts.
Incredibly grateful if anyone has any thoughts.
This can happen if your web host had problems and restored your site from a non-recent backup. If you had your database backed up see:

Otherwise, I'd recommend backing up in the future:

You can check to see if Google or any other search engines have cached your missing posts so that you can recover the text from them.

I'm working on trying to figure out if I have any of that stuff going on - but it's tricky weeding through it.
But I have discovered that google did cache most of my recent posts, so thanks for that pointer.
For anyone else in a similar boat who knows as little as I do, to check if your site is cached, do this search in google... "cache:http://yoursitename.com/"
