Saved over a file instead of save as - can I retrieve it?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm hoping there is a solution that will save the last 3 days of my work!

I opened a file this morning to use as a base for another file. I deleted parts of the model and instead of 'saving as' I saved over the file. Then worked on it for an hour or so. The autosaves are only from today and contain the edits made after I saved over the original file. There aren't any autosaves from yesterday either as I used the same file this morning.

I know I'm clutching at straws but is there any way I can retrieve a previous autosave or anything from yesterday or first thing today before I made the edits?

Unfortunately I don't have any other back ups (e.g. windows backup) from last 3 day either.

I have found an export file (extension .vw4d) from yesterday which will refer to the right version I need but it's a very small file - is there any way I can get any information from that file?

Many thanks for any help.

If you think the file is related to VW you can change the ending and try to open it. XX.wvx

i have my backups to set to 20 and ever 30 min, that way you have some from the previous day.

Doesn't matter how many, your computer has lots of storage space.

If your at the office look a the backup in the server as it should back up ever day.

Good Luck.
