Recover a defect project?

[Adda]

I worked on a new show. After a windows crash with blue-screen and restarting windows, I am unable to reload the project. PTE crashes every time, I tried to open the project. I opened the project with an editor. There i only one line with Nul Nul Nul Nul ... and so on. In the preferences I made the entry "autosave every 1 minute". Where can I find an auto-backup of my show, if there is one.

Best regards

Andreas

This does not look good, sorry. Did you choose the option "Auto recovery"? Autosave is not a good function (IMO) as it overwrites the same project file again and again. I would prefer my own new versions (any few (30) minutes) while keeping the old ones.
