  • Out of interest, if the corruption is folder based maybe the backup should be kept somewhere else, such as AppData or somewhere?

  • Yes but that backup is also corrupted (filled with "NULLNULLNULLNULL") - surely there's a sturdier way of managing the files? If that backup corrupted, how can I be sure that the other backup feature will work?

  • Yea, plain text xml file. Except a snippet of my file is "NULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULL" etc

  • I know that now, but since when did we have to schedule Word/Outlook/Firefox to automatically backup what we're doing. Most software dealing with data people wouldn't want to use have a default backup in place - I'd like to see this software do the same. My data is already mostly gone, I'm recovering some via hex and binary searching across my drive, but I'd like to make sure others don't have this issue.
