See: Recover project - Audacity 80.156.6

After repairing your corrupt database, you especially want to keep current backups, particularly in a .WAV file format that you can revert to.

Additionally, I sometimes copy the entire project to a new project by following these four (4) steps:

  1. Ctrl+A = Select All
  2. Ctrl+C = Copy
  3. Ctrl+N = New
  4. Ctrl+V = Paste; and do NOT copy smart clip information, when prompted.

Good luck!

Oh, and don’t run Audacity projects from networked drives.
