[Qgis-user] Help! QGIS crashed and has deleted my QGZ file

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi

If you have Windows 10 and have activated "Back up using File History" 
(Setting/Update and Security/Backup....) you may have a copy of the 
file.  If your files disappeared for no reasons, I would seriously scan 
your hard drive in case you are seeing indications of a drive failier.

Good Luck

Nicolas
