Legal Question in Federal Tort Claims in Texas

defamation of character

i am employed by a doctor and i take care of our server, network and billing for the past 11 years. we chose to upgrade our server during december of 2007. i recommended a company because Dell computers gave me the referral. the boss hired them and their employee make a mistake and erased our c drive. after that, this company has been emailing and telling my employer that i don't know anything about computers and shouldn't be working for the company, however, they knew, that i knew, they messed up so this was their way of getting me out of the picture. they continue to accuse me of their mistakes and i have a copy of emails they have sent to my employer witht he accusations of non-truth. what should i do? should i sue? if so, how? so far, i have left it alone but they are trying to charge for work they didn't do so i've been assisting with the dispute letters but my boss signs them.
