Question

recover restore revive resuscitate a lost session

I am about to start the re-edit of a complicated hour documentary because I apparently trashed the .sesx file by mistake and then diligently did my regular backup on my external which erased the .sesx over there.  Having recently switched to Adobe from APPLE, I looked for the Final Cut Pro auto-emergency-save-backup-every-five-minutes-because-the-editor-is-an-idiot option but, alas, I have learned that does not exist in Audition.  I have now added the step export-session-with-copied-all-media-ticked option at the end of every work day.  This is a rookie welcome-to-Adobe mistake, yes?  Is there some secret temporary stash of .sesx files that does not show up in a search?

There has been an "Auto save recovery data every [user supplied] minutes" option under Preferences > Multitrack since at least CS5.5 and no there are no "secret temporary stash of .sesx files"

I have the auto save recovery data box checked and set at every five minutes in preferences.  How do I recover this data if there is no .sesx project file?

I am screwed.  My contribution to the Adobe suggestion box is to add an autosave .sesx feature.

It's recovery data, gathered automatically and it's stored in wherever you set your temp location to. Audition decides whether you need to recover data - users don't get to choose about that. Recovery data is lost when you restart Audition after a normal shut-down; it only does recovery from crashes.

It has also recently been discovered that if you recover from a crash, that you need to re-establish where you are recording new files to - otherwise they end up in the temp recovery area, not saved properly, and you will lose everything you recorded next time you restart. The devs are attending to this, apparently!
