That is why programs like Steinberg Cubase do not simply bail out on failure, but give users a chance to save a copy of their work.
that's why they aren't portable. and written by bad programmers, as there is never any need for "emergency save" in good designed progam: it keeps working logs and can replay everything user did if it crashed. sadly, most programmers aren't trained to write their software this way.
