Back Up Question #2

So just now I decided to check on the cds I imported last week...well, now suddenly, they are gone. (see fig 1 on attachment). The title still shows up in My Library, but the music is gone. When I click on the track, I the message "file not found" again...on everyone. Dozens of cds have vanished since the last backup! However...

This is goes back to my OP: On my external drive are the files from the missing cds...as far as a I can tell (see fig 2, pt a). When I click the folder sonicstagefiles, the albums are there in with the tracks in each folder (see fig 2, pt B). If I click on a folder, the tracks appears with the SS icon next to them (See fig 3). When I click on a track, the display changes to All Tracks, the track loads and plays...but if I go back to My Library and click on the same track I get the infamous "File not found".

Also, I tried running the Restore Data. Every drive I click on tells my there is no backup data in that drive and the program won't run (Fig 4, pts A & B). There is a folder on the harddrive called sonicstagebackup that was made (I assume) by the SS program itself. Where does the backup data go? I know there are SS files on the F drive (that's the external drive) and on the C drive. But I keep getting that same message and the restore program stops.

I don't understand why it is called "the backup tool" if it doesn't actually backup anything! Also just noticed that all the artwork I imported over the last week is gone off My Library.

Not sure where the attachment went...it shows screen captures documenting this problem. Don't know why the yellow icons are in my post either.

Ok after doing the data restore in an effort to get the cds I have imported in the last two weeks back....now nothing I have imported in a month shows up in My Library. This has really get me ill. Is there any reason why I should not just delete this software and try something else and start from the beginning again?
