I totally agree, each and every file is most certainly important and the timing of this issue is incredibly frustrating, although I guess there is no "good time" to experience a technical issue.
From my dialogue with our IT specialists, I have been advised that no files have been lost. The cause of this issue is that a small number of accounts were pointed at an older version of their data folders.
Once a case is logged with our Hosted Support team and investigation completed, we are contacting each affected user that have made changes in that older folder before redirecting them to the ?correct folder to ensure any changes made over the last few days are not lost.
In regard to the point you've raised in relation to Support, the extension of our Support hours/availability is a key focus at the moment and there is a lot of work being completed already by a number of teams to make this a reality.
Please get in touch with us if you haven't done so already and we can get a case logged to get this moving along for you.

?The team are proactively making contact with affected users to work with them on this issue, however getting in touch us can expedite this process where possible. ?Thank you everyone for your co-operation and patience with us. We are fully aware that this issue is immensely frustrating, not to mention inconvenient, and we sincerely apologise to all our users who have been impacted.
Tania Czislowski - the ATO wont penalise you due to the issue - I know its painful to ring them & be on hold forever but they will give you an extension (probably 2/3 weeks) hopefully its all fixed today.
I am pleased to report that I have my files back, and seems up to date. Thanks Leon in Tech Support for keeping me as updated as he could throughout this debacle. Rav, I don't envy you your job, but I really hope that this serves to highlight some of the flaws in Reckon's customer support services and we can see some improvements going forward. I'm still going to be actively checking out other options, because really the delay in file restoration was unacceptable. It's going to take quite a while for my faith in the 'cloud' to be restored once more.
Thank you for the Technical Support team and your efforts this morning to restore my account. I was grateful for the professional response - frequent updates and a prompt confirmation of when the problem had been confirmed as fully fixed.
Whilst there was no need to employ any Business Resilience actions on my part, I was prepared to do so as is necessary for any critical system.
I know it should be but I can tell you last time i requested at the due date time on the phone a few BAS's ago, even with good reason, was told had to apply online well before due date to be considered. whether it is because of being BAS agent then? don't know!!
