I knew, I knew, knew knew something was off with Project Backup. On occasion, I have mysteriously had audio data disappear as if I had messed up when moving a project to a folder, or, the audio was stored somewhere else other than the project pool and thus deleted without realizing. Now I had the …

The files are only removed from the project and the Pool, but remain in the Audio folder.

Can you please reconfirm that, not my findings

Those are my findings for the Original project, not the Backup of course…

Thanks. This is a hard to repro issue, thanks for doing the repro. I’ll post back once I’ve reported, but first I’ll watch this topic for any additions.

So the gist of it is if you do a backup and keep the current project active and delete unused files you will not be able to use undo on you main project. So if you keep the main project active it deletes the files and then creates the backup. If you don’t keep it active it creates the backup and o…

[image] kapzz: so either I’m mistaken, or, there’s another variable somewhere. This is why simple and brief repro sequences are needed. While you create one you are forced to reveal every nuance each step might cause. It’s rather painstaking work.

I did end up putting one at the bottom of the OP but it wasn’t as good as Louis, as I was in the process of figuring out what exactly the repro was. I will do some more testing as, there might be a variable with how the project has been saved before doing the back up.

virtual hugs everyone hugs It’s possible I was mistaken for sure… but I did have to drag in audio files from TI backup and there were for sure some missing because windows didn’t ask me to overwrite… and I hadn’t done any local project cleanup actions yet. I’m 75% sure I looked into the active proj…

Backup Project also saves origin project
