The CCleaner guys have a good recover tool, Recuva it's called.
How can you Recuva that which has not been deleted

I'd recommend everyone set up dropbox or the like for their characters. I know it's too late for you now Neil but if it happens again you will be able to recover.
You could also try downloading an undelete program and searching for your character file. If you're lucky you may be able to find an old version to restore.
Bloody hell - is that discovered or constructed?
Traps?
Yeah. If you have your character folder synced via dropbox (or another similar program) you will have several versions of your character backed up to dropbox. If the latest gets corrupted just revert to the last version and so on.
Cool, friends comp crashed and it corrupted his character yesterday. That would be really useful for him. Guess the only downside is you'll still lose everything from that session (I don't think the game autosaves periodically does it?) but it beats losing the char entirely.
My one crashed and I thought I lost all my gold ore etc. but got lucky, so I'm not sure if it periodically saves but it sure seems that way right now. Quick saves would be nice.
