Yes you'll likely need most of that 250gb for a backup if you indeed have 200gb worth of files.
Before you proceed, as PooMan UK suggested, are you sure that these files aren't simply hidden?
Refer to the following and see if showing hidden files reveals the data you think is missing:
Hidden Files and Folders - Show or Hide
There are three possible outcomes:
1. You enable it and see your files
2. A virus won't let you enable it
3. You enable it and still can't find your files
Let me know what happens and we can proceed from there

See if Unhide.exe (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/unhide.exe) (by Grinler) helps...
Once the program has been downloaded, double-click on the Unhide.exe icon on your desktop and allow the program to run. This program will remove the +H, or hidden, attribute from all the files on your hard drives. If there are any files that were purposely hidden by you, you will need to hide them again after this tool is run."

Maybe you still have some viruses on your computer also....
do a Hitman Pro scan please: Home - SurfRight
after that TDSSKiller: Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller

Other than the missing files, how is the computer running? Are you getting any fake antivirus warnings that popup or scans that start by themselves? Is there any abnormal behavior other than the missing files?
The most common infections I've been seeing lately are the fake antivirus ones. I always use Maleware bytes at work to clean out infections, it's free and keeps itself updated:
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.60.0.1800 - TechSpot Downloads
Try running a scan with it and see if it picks anything up. Might I also ask what antivirus software, if any, you use on your computer?
