How I missed block and What Lesson I learned

On Jan 1st, My Laptop Hard Drive Crashed. Then on the way to Service center, someone stole my phone too.
I enabled SSH Key login & disabled password. So When they replace my Hard Drive, The key on my laptop also gone. So I couldn't log in to my server. Then I asked the hosting support & they rebooted my server. Now, I had to re-sync the server.

I got lots of error.So I started it fresh and Now it's syncing the blockchain. I will update once it back to normal.

Update 1: Replay Completed and Broadcasted my witness. I will update once fix the price feed as well.

Update 2(22:40 IST) I successfully produce a block and everything back to normal and sadly I missed 9 more blocks for this.

Thanks, @bobinson & @someguy123 for their time and help.

My suggestion is to Store a backup of the ssh key on the cloud. So you will never face a situation like me.
