cascading corruption of AE files
I’ve got a very serious and puzzling situation with some corruption of AE files.
Basically what is happening is a crash will happen, or AE will hang OSX and I’ll have to do a force quit and the file will not open. The serious part is all the files that I’d working on that day won’t open.
Typically when a crash happens the file is unaffected, and if it is corrupt somehow, at least the previous file will be fine.
In 14 years I’ve never seen this kind of problem.
Some background on when/how this all started was we had a server crash. When the server rebooted I continued working as normal, saving regularly – as AE has been crashing so much – and saving as out to a new file every half hour or so. I was working on a file when the server went down, so I saved the file locally and waited for the server to reboot. After that everything seemed fine. AE did crash a few more times and I had to force quit it once or twice, but every time the file would open and I’d save a new one and continue. Eventually though the file would not open, then I’d go back to a previous file and it would not open. neither would the rest of the files that I’d worked on that day.
Tech guys say there is nothing wrong with the server, it’s been checked and verified. There are no backups happening that might be causing this.
I’m wondering if there is anyone out there that can take a look at the file to see if it can be fixed somehow. This has happened on 2 occasions now. I’m worried that the along the way the file has gotten corrupt, but has continued to work somehow and then eventually become corrupt.
Any ideas?
