Also are you using the backup feature of KMyMoney.? If you are and save 
backups for some time you can click on the backup file and it should 
restore the ledger etc from the date you backed up. Then just save it to 
the .kmy file. I do it on Linux and have never lost more than the most 
recent data, which I reentered from a statement on my check book. 

I save a backup each time I enter stuff into the ledger. See:

File --> Backup

I also save it to an external disk in case my disc fails. 

I do not know what OS your using, but the process should be available on 
all versions.
