Project crashed, backups not working

Barbje_Keller · Jun 30, 2011

Hi again, with mine problem

. Yesterday cresh my Windows 7 64 bit. in updating process. BTB was opened at this time with mine projeckt. Now I can't open my last track. Backuping with renaming file in temporary folder, don't work. Any have some ideas how repair this problem?

BTB is still at a state where using it on x64 (vista or 7) is a "use at your own risk" (not sure about the latest updates)
Saying that, lots of people have managed to get it working with no problems under x64.

You can try loading one of the venue files located in your btb files. As far as im aware these venue file will store the projects last used "undo" state.

I would recommend also when working on a project to make 3 sequential save files.
So I save my project as "pro1" .. I do some work, then save it as "pro2" .. do some more work then save as "pro3" .. do some more work then save as pro1... etc etc etc so you always have 3 recent backups of your project.
best of luck recovering things.

Yes I did like you say, but my last save has 1 moth old... And I lose about 60% of mine work with 3D model placing and others...

On W7 - 64 bit., I don't have any problem until this time, when system cresh. And BTB run without any manage from my side...
But problem is, that not any venue files, from temporary directory, don't want run on btb... Always has the same error

Im no expert on venue files at all, but Im sure someone else might be able to salvage something for you.
Indecently it might be a good idea to paste the error that btb is telling you while trying to open the venue file.

EDIT, just noticed you did provide a screenshot of the error. But would be helpful for others to help you if you paste the entire error log.
If your in any luck, the problem in the venue file can be edited manually using a txt editor or whatever.
