When you say you lost everything what do you mean. There should be a file you downloaded that installed the app..you can back that up

The fie you downloaded should be the installer that you can use to install it all again in the future.

Well there is no way to back up a program that is installed in your computer. UNless you have the installer, you cant save it anywhere
