Really like the addition of the Auto Saves folder, as fulfilling as running the vacuum cleaner, helps gets rid of all the dust in the root folder . . .
I noticed tonight when I tried to open a recent .bak file from the Auto Saves folder, I got a warning about many missing files when opening the project. Indeed it opened with no audio files, empty clips . . . kind of caused a moment of panic.
If I move the .bak file into the root folder, it opens properly . . . is this intended behavior ?, are we supposed to know to move it to the root folder ?
As far as I know it is not the intended behaviour. Since there are different ways how to open a backup file: Did you double-click on such a file in the Windows Explorer/Apple Finder?
happy that you like the new Auto Save System. No that is not intended. It seems to have relative paths where I expected absolute paths. Thanks for bringing this up, I will look into it.
Is checking bak files part of your usual workflow or was this kind of an exception? I just ask so I get a better idea about how people use their Auto Saves.
Thanks for the reply Alex . . . my reason for needing the .bak files in this case was that Cubase instantly crashed, and I didn’t want to lose 20 minutes of work. Once I figured out you have to move the auto saves into the root folder to open successfully, I was able to pick up where I left off in my crashed project. (FYI, other times I have used the auto saves to get back to a starting point when I didn’t like something I added to the project, usually the day before)
Hi. I am encountering the same problem with autosave file with Cubase 14 - it used to work fine with Cubase 13!. When I click on the .bak file in the Autosave folder I am told that the audio is missing. I use this fairly regular to go back and reinstate old versions audio files that I have changed. Am I doing someting wrong or is it a fault of the program.
Hi @Tony_Broadbent . . . the reason it worked in Cubase 13 is because the backup files were all saved in the root folder. Then in Cubase 14 they added a new feature where all the back up files get saved into an “Auto Saves” folder, as an attempt to de-clutter the main folder . . . as of now, you’ll have to move the .bak files back into the root project folder, or it will not find all your associated audio files, a simple workaround, until they figure out if they want to fix this, or provide some documentation about how it actually works.
