Using Simpletech 320G external drive and software that came with it for backup. Laptop stolen, trying to retrieve backup data but some files are missing. Appears most are there but some missing. One of the more critical files I need. It was a simple Word file. What gives? Why was it not backed up?

Suggest no one to use Simpletech for backup.
 
I've never put my faith in any data backup software, always do it myself. Tedious perhaps but at least I know it's done properly.
Only backup software I use is disk-imaging software, wouldn't be without it.

You could try file-recovery software, though that won't help if the files you need were never written to the drive in the first place:
