There's a list at <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Patr%C3%ADciaR/missing_images> to keep up with the ones that are recovered (Commons only). Multichill suggested warning all uploaders to get the "own work" ones, at least. Good news: there seems to be some images that were *not* lost after all; please see <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#Massive_image_loss> too.
Tim, s*it happens :).

I have 30 of the 496 images in that list based on an exact path match.
It's possible that I have more based on hash matches for image which
were moved between sites or 'renamed' after my last sync.
I have some chores to run, but I will later pull the hashes from
the
database and check for hash matches.
I would likely have had nearly all of them if the rsync push to me had
not been down most of the year.
