Part of File is Missing

Beware -
           by using 'restore', you could lose anything which was placed on
the machine after that restore date ;-(

That is why having a backup copy option and a auto save for recovery is needed.
I think every time you open or save the document, you might get a backup copy [or maybe not]. You will have to check the documentation to know for sure.

I have had a few system crashes, yes for both Windows and Linux, where the auto-save saved a lot of work from being retype in. Having a back copy of important files for each level of changes may be as important to many as it is to have a backup of all of your files [i.e. an external set of backup drives].

Hi :slight_smile:
I think he is talking about some document-specific thing introduced in
Win7. I've not explored it yet. (Had no idea it existed tbh)

The Windows-wide restore should only affect programs but should leave
files and data untouched. of course what should be and what is are
often different but i've never had a problem with it the few times
i've used it.

Hi everyone

FYI

Details of recovery of a previous version of a single file from Restore Points or Windows Backup in Windows 7:

I realise this may not solve your problem - I'm hoping others can help recover the newest version of your file.
