"Text Import Option" error message

[Vinicius5CDC]

I was saving a file in Illustrator 2021 when the electricity went out and my computer turned off. When I turned it on later and opened the file it had a "Text Import Option" error message. When I click "Ok" it opens a blank document.

I'm looking for solutions on the web, but nothing works 😞 Is it possible to recover the file? It is a really important job

Thanks in advance

It's likely that the file couldn't be saved. If all the recovery tools you found on the web don't work, then it's likely that the file is damaged beyond repair.

Crashing when saving is just the worst possible moment for a crash.

Do you have a backup? And if not, then why not?

Yes, I wonder that I lost and there's nothing to do. Thanks anyway. I have a backup, but a not complete one.
