I empathise as I lost a whole drive last month... A WD 2 Tb that had only been used a dozen times for quarterly backups....out of warranty of course.
So just flicked you a donation to help things along :-)
(and I encourage other users to do the same.!! .....every little helps.....We're getting a top notch software with fantastic support and AK deserves our recognition)
All the best onwards,
Bob.
