Ukrainian equivalent of 'Nothing of value was lost'?

Question

I wanted to know how can you express this in Ukrainian and if Ukrainian has an equivalent phrase.

General explanation in my own words: Phrase is used in situations when something went bad and at first glance the situation looks dire, however for the narrator this is actually a good riddance.

Context and uses:

A server disk is broken and we can't recover any data from it. It was a RAID0 and we have no backups. But then comes a lead and says: You know, we wanted to decomission that server for a while now and this kinda just forces the inevitable. Nothing of value was lost with the loss of this server.

• Hey did you know? The website with lots of horny women from your area is closed!

• So what? Nothing of value was lost.

If I understand the meaning of the English phrase correctly, I can suggest the following variants:

• "Нічого страшного" (literally — "[there's] nothing terrible [in that]"). E.g.:

  — Нічого страшного, — сказав один з них, — черепок цілий, — і навернув Тимкові на голові білу чалму. //Hryhir Tiutiunnyk, "Вир" ("The Whirlpool").

• "Ну то й що?" (literally — "and what then"). Usually is used to emphasize that nothing really serious happened. E.g.:

  Він ішов лісовою дорогою із радюжкою з травою за плечима, яку підтримував рукою, у другій ніс косу й раптом явно відчув — йому хочеться оглянутися. Оглянутися, бо там хтось є, за ним хтось йде.

  «Ну то й що? — подумав. — Разом ітимемо». //Volodymyr Lys, "Діва Млинища" ("The Virgin of Mlynyshche").

• "Велике діло!" (literally — "a great/large case/issue/thing"). Often is used in sarcastic manner to express that the discussed thing is really not serious. E.g.:

  А щука на своє хилила: «Ет, вигадки! Велике діло — миші». //Leonid Hlibov, "Щука й Кіт" ("Esox/Pike and Cat").

• "Теж мені проблема" (literally — "[that's] one more problem for me"). Almost always used in sarcastic manner, expressing that something is really not a problem ("теж мені " usually has such an inverted/sarcastic meaning). E.g.:

  — Два екзамени в один день — теж мені проблема, скажи, Дживс? — прошепотіла вона, згортаючись клубочком. //Nadiya Herbish, "Домо-над-морем-терапія" ("House-over-the-sea-therapy").

So, I think you are looking for a phrase "Коли б тільки й горя" or in other words "Якби тільки й лиха" (Ukrainian phrase dictionary). We, Ukrainians, use it to calm down a person and show them that they shouldn't worry about this or that problem, because it's just a matter of small weight.

However, I'd translate this phrase as "Нічого страшного". Also, we have a phrase "Не біда" (Ukrainian dictionary).
