i'd be rather upset if i lost as many as 100 images i've accumulated, let alone 11,000.
i'll give a few to the cause op, but you really should have a few thumb drives handy and at least copy your collection to them as a just-in-case.
every month i save all of my mp3 files and images to their respective drives, which bailed me out once when i had lost an mp3 folder.
