I'm sorry to hear this. On the other hand, you probably have learned from this incident to make regular 
backups of all your important data.

GnuCash doesn't seem to agree you really have opened a valid gnucash data file. Are you sure you are 
opening a backup file from the data file you lost ?

Is there any data in those files ?

What format have you been using to save your files ? XML, SQlite ?
