How to restore project aup files?

[kozikowski]

What did you call one of the projects? The exact filename?

This has happened before?

How do files get to your backup drive and where is it? Cloud? G-Drive?

Losing a whole pile of .AUP files is most unusual. That's where I start worrying you're not the only user on your machine. Is your virus protection program still supported?

Do you have any Projects on your machine that survived? Are you sure?

Part of the problem is that every project consists of two separate files. So that can get a little clumsy sometimes. Not often though.

Hi Jebbers,

You might be pleased to know that for a release of Audacity later this year we are planning on a total restructure of the Audacity project storage, moving to a Unitary Project file - i.e. a single file (a database really) that is self contained and contains all the project in one place within itself.

This will take a large amount of development work and a LOT of testing - but we are sure the end result will be worth it - a lot less, hopefully close to zero, damaged lost irrecoverable projects.

Peter.

That's a good idea. I'm glad that I thought of it after you thought of it.
