[Qgis-user] Error - Qgis files getting corrupted after saving

[Hugh Kelley]

Hi Sandra,

When you say "data" are you referring to spatial data saved in something
like a shapefile geopackage etc, or the actual qgis file ending in .qgz or
.qgs?

If it is the actual qgis file itself that you are seeing corrupted, I would
not expect a qgis file created by a newer version to be backwards
compatible with and older version of qgis. I often see people using older
versions run into weird problems when opening a file created by a newer
version. Perhaps others will say otherwise but I don't expect this to a
problem that can be solved. All users should be on a common version for the
best experience.

If its spatial data you're seeing corrupted that is something that should
be solvable anf sharing what file type is being used might get you helpful
suggestions.

As a note, because opening and saving a qgis file with a different version
can cause problems across versions, like loosing symbology settings, I
backup my qgis work at least once a day so that I have something recent to
fall back to if an issue like this occurs.

Best,

Hugh
