The person who claims to have lost so much data, why would those details have been deleted from their mobile? I can understand if it assumed the cloud service was more current than the phone and so deleted what was missing. However I would expect this service to not do that but in fact always assume the mobile is more current. This is however why I still use traditional e-mail instead of GMail, Hotmail, etc. I do not trust anything in the cloud and never will. You simply do not know the companies backup policy.
