So the wife calls me as I'm on my way home from work just now and says, "All our Guitar Hero data is gone." Unsurprisingly, my heart skips a beat, but there's nothing I could do about it at the time, so I disregard the speed limits in light of an emergency. Turns out our PS2 decided our memory card data for GH2 was corrupt, so it overwrote it. Seeing as how I had twelve songs to go, this comes as a great blow.
Any tips out there from the peanut gallery experts on how I can avoid this in the future and what exactly went wrong?
Back it all up next time.
Dunno, I've never gotten that.
Was it an official memory card from Sony or a third-party one?
Third party, I think. And it was kind of old.
Did it to Sparky et al too, probably same POS third party card. We were like "$#@% $@#$# $#@$#@ $@#$@# BALONEY!". Then started over trying to rebeat it all.

That's why I refuse to buy third-party memory cards for anything, ever. I was burned by that back on the original PlayStation. Haven't had a problem with any of the name-brand cards I've owned, but I still have a tendancy to make frequent paranoid backups of more important game saves.
I had a third party memord card for the GC and it corrupted all my data on it. Since then I got an official one which has never let me down since, although I never had the patience to try to get as far as I did before on the games.
The lesson: Get official merch, guys. It's not worth getting a cheaper one if it loses everything.
My little brother and I both have the same third-party memory card for the GCN... His went corrupt and died, but mine lives. So now I think I'll save backups on...another third-party card!
I use 3rd paty cards because they are cheaper and tend to hold more, but I back up everything important on official cards
Hard drives.
*shot*
I'd suggest to just stay with official but then again, those have kind of failed me at times...but my experience with 3rd party cards has been very good...so it's a tossup
