I don't have anything helpful to offer; I am just curious why somebody would store pictures that are invaluable on Facebook? Not only could something like this happen, but the pictures are compressed a tonne.

Memories with friends, family, etc. I guess. Many ppl just store pics on facebook, and lose the backup as time passes.

Talk to FB. The pictures will never leave the cloud.

It's amazing how many people do this, actually.

Get her to go into "Settings".
Top left tab is "General Account Settings"
At the bottom of the options for that tab, under "temperature" is "Download a Copy of your Facebook Data"
Honestly not sure it it'll work to revive deleted pictures as well, but it's worth a shot.

As much as it pains me, Facebook really is the easiest way to share pictures with friends and family who fall under the Luddite category. It wouldn't surprise me that so many people also use FB to store their photos.

Great place to share, yes. Store? Not so much. If you have the know how to post pictures on FB, you should also be able to easily store the original picture somewhere safe too.

You're preaching to the choir, man. I keep backups and redundant backups in a separate location, and that's on top of third party cloud storage.
But that's a bit of work at the best of times even with a well-established workflow. It's probably quite daunting for someone who only pulls out their $89 camera at Easter, Christmas, and their annual vacation to an all-inclusive resort. For many of those people, I doubt they're all that concerned with compression or having proper backups.

Sorry, that wasn't directed at you at all, just people in general. Sorry if it came across that way.
The bolded part is really what I'm getting at. If they can get the pictures off a camera in the first place, they really should be able to put it somewhere safe as well. But you're quite right, many don't for reasons I don't understand. And I'm not the type that puts a ton of value in pictures to begin with.
