Thanks J-S, No problem with my house-keeping. The back-up of the file meant maybe 10 minutes of work was lost if that. I code my files by date so that they are unique to a day and then the episode code, then the "take" code, then the render edition then the frame count .... so that 100112-dz2-RobotFallsIntoSpaghetti-aa500 .... means that the file automatically sorts to date modified since the file name begins the date, etc. (10-01-12 is 2010/01/12th)

Example : myproject0000.rs myproject0001.rs myproject0002.rs myproject0003.rs myproject0004.rs myproject0005.rs ... myproject0110.rs myproject0111.rs ... And also doing a lot of backup with dates on CD, USB Key, External HD and put them at work, give them to relatives and friends you trust. backup_myproject_2009_10_24.zip backup_myproject_2009_12_07.zip backup_myproject_2010_01_09.zip This is the bullet proof technique for anything bad that can happened in computer world Also having project files at all the steps makes an incredibly powerful undo. I have no pity for you (and all the others that looses stuff on computer), you should already know by now that computers have never been reliable, surely not softwares and especially not yourself (I was not referring to you in particular but all users). Hope you find the missing stuff Neil in your project. And show us more good stuff. ------------------------------------------------ Not to put a shameless plug here, but my software CombadZ has solved this problem for ever. If the users don't want to do it by themselves, force them or do it for them. By the way it is now working on Linux/Win/Mac to be released next year.
