I would suggest to use an external software to search your computer.
Windows search does not search every folder. The software I use is
called "everything". It's free and you can find it here
https://www.voidtools.com/downloads/
Install it and search for *.dxl files

Hi Mark.
Yes, the .DXL file is located in the SAVE folder.
I also have a second backup on a pendrive that is always connected to my
laptop.
I have verified that whenever I save, it makes both backup copies
simultaneously.
Mark, I rather think that the problem is mine, that I don't do it well.
When the program closes unexpectedly (which is not usual) I get a message
on the screen when I start DX4WIN, I tell it YES, I give the file another
name so that it does not coincide with the main one, but the QSOs that were
saved the last time in the backup appear, it does not recover the ones that
were made right at the moment that DX4WIN was closed unexpectedly.
I remember that I did exactly that same procedure when I had version 8.0.5
and when this happened to me, I gave the file a different name, it opened
and the latest QSOs appeared, once I verified that everything was OK, I
saved it as EA8AM.DXL.
Thanks for your response and I will continue investigating.

Hello,
I suspect that your ea8am.dxl file is being stored somewhere else on
your PC, and because of this, the .dxl file is not being saved in
dx4win/save. Maybe try using Windows Explorer to search if an ea8am.dxl
file is being stored somewhere else. I experienced the same thing myself
once.
