(@OP:) If the data is that important (family photos, etc), learn to create backups of it, which, as situations like the one described show, is more important for valuable data than encryption, especially when one doesn't yet know the system well. Learn the system first, then go for advanced topics like encryption. If you had a backup to begin with, this wouldn't happen. I had my "just make backups" moment when I was still using DOS in the 90s, and tried to compress a hard disk with DoubleSpace (or was it DriveSpace?) without running chkdsk + defrag. Naturally, at X% the compression stopped and I was left with half of my files gone.
