 * Downloaded latest version 2 Fridays back. Did a backup of a 3.9.1 site and when
   i deactivated/deleted the plugin after doing the backup and downloading it, it
   wiped the contents of the uploads folder, all images on the client production
   site were just gone. gone. no warning, no nothing. this plugin is dangerous. 
   very dangerous. lost years off my life.

 * Hello,
 * What you describe, just impossible! I really believe there are number of users
   who install/activate/deactivate this plugin everyday. But we’ve not heard or 
   received a feedback from them about such a strange problem since the product 
   has been released!
 * Anyway, do you have any *.sgbp backup archive downloaded on your local computer?
   If yes, we can help you to restore everything back as you’ve mentioned you just
   lost it.
 * Regards,
    Lisa Breen BackupGuard, Support Team

 * [@backup-guard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/backup-guard/): Lisa, nothing
   is “impossible”. A plugin is code that has permission to do almost anything. 
   A little bug or uncaught edge case can lead to issues. My recommendation to you
   is that you slow down, take a step back, get the details first before getting
   into confrontational replies and discussions.
