    Do a search of your hard drive(s) for that filename.
    If nothing shows up, do a search for that filename with the “.bak” extension.
    This is the backup file that Vegas should be creating for you.
    Copy this file to a different location and rename it by dropping the “.bak” extension.
    Now try opening it.

    For added security, it’s a good idea to create a second copy of the restored project under another name.

    If you’re using Vegas Pro 8, you might also want to check out my Auto Save custom command. It will save your project every x minutes and append the date/time to the file name giving you a running series of backups.
