You've probably lost your files for good. Unless you specifically set up an alternate location for backup files, there isn't an automatic feature to make backups.
This is a good time to point out that there are some great utilities out there that help in this regard. I use a free one called Karen's Replicator (http://www.karenware.com/powertools/ptreplicator.asp) It makes backups from whatever folder structure I want, to whatever folder structure I want, on the schedule I set. All of my work has three copies, one on my machine, one on the file server, and one on a backup server, and all of this happens behind the scenes without any manual intervention by me. This has really saved my butt a few times!

The network people were updating servers yesterday and unknowingly lost our files and probably others. Can anyone tell if and where I can find those files on our C drives, which I assume is the "disk" referred to in Frame doc? I recall and find references in Frame doc to the interaction between computer memory and disk, which suggests that copies of all saves are stored on C. But I find no information identifying a location on the disk that files are saved to. A search of C for the .fm files didn't turn up the targets. Tips are welcome--the sooner the better.
