Recovering VI

[jyang72211]

I am developing an application on a PC, and while I was away one day, someone needed to move the PC.  When they did that, I was in the midst of development, so some VIs were not saved.  After I got the PC back, I noticed that I lost a lot of work on one VI.  I looked at the autosave folder, but it is empty.  What are other ways to recover my work?  Thanks!

Other way: get a copy of the VI from your backup.

Lesson(s) learned:

- make backups of your work

- save often, save early

- use a SVN tool of your choice

If the autosave / project recovery don't give you any help then I don't think there are any, unfortunately. Saving often and using source control to back-up your code is the only reliable way to avoid losing code! Hindsight is 20/20.

Yeah, I should  have known better.

That used to happened to me alot.  So I started saving more often but try looking in your temp folder, you might just get lucky.
