This is why we recommend using CarbonCopyCloner for making backups. It's "incremental" backup setting has options that let you keep the old files around. That way nothing is lost.
Yes, and when you restore from one of those you spend *HOURS* pawing through masses of duplicate files. I my case, I'd carefully preserved all my data through two "Dammit I can't find anything, time to clean off the desktop and re-arrange stuff" sessions.
It's a bit disconcerting to make a complete backup, knowing you have just a handful of file and folders on your desktop, then restore from the SAME backup, and suddenly seeing mounds and mounds of files on the desktop. :-/
