Truthfully, if this only happened to you once in 3 years, you are truly lucky! Saving often is of course the key. I also use AstuteGraphics plug-in AutoSavior so that when I do get a crash, I don't really have any issues.

Hi there,

 

Sorry about this trouble. Is the issue related to a specific document? If yes, could you please share the document with us? You can upload it to the Creative Cloud (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/share.html) and share the download link. 

 

I must also inform you that file recovery can't be guaranteed with a 100% success. We'll surely try our best.

 

Regards,

Srishti
