[Dx4win] loss of qsl dates

I recently discovered that all my QSL dates were missing from my log.  The 
computer that the log is on sometimes reboots by itself so I don't know if 
there is any correlation.

I discovered the missing data when some QSL cards arrived and I attempted to 
enter the data into the program.  I noticed that there was no QSL dates that 
represented the dates I sent the QSL cards to the other hams.  I  entered 
the date of April 20, 2013 as an approximate sending date as I did a large 
batch of cards around that time.  At first, I figured that I missed a few 
dates in the log, but checking on the LOG display, I noticed that there were 
no dates going back to my first entries in 1957 except my April 20th dates.

Any ideas ?

I do have a back-up done 6 months ago, but I don't know how I would only 
enter the QSL dates and not affect any other data.

Is this an unusual event to lose all the data in one field throughout the 
program?
