InDesign auto recovery failing, need to recover mini saves to restore doc

I'm a lil concerned. InDesign crashed and keeps attempting to recover the file I was working in but doesn't. I click REOPEN, it tries, and generates the same crash report over and over, asking again if I want to reopen the file. So it's having trouble pulling from the recovery files. Can I go to the recovery files themsleves (those mini saves InDesign makes every minute in the background as you work), move them to a new location, and try to reopen my InDesign file that crashed? Is there a way to access the mini saves and not lose my work?

I was just reading this articcle myself. I'm having trouble locating the InDesign Recovery files on my computer. I know the location is listed in Preference > File Handling > Document Recovery Data, but a portion of it is not readable. It looks like this:

 

 Clicking choose doesn't take me to the correct location. I tried using this address online (Users/[User Name]/Library/Cache/Adobe InDesign/Version[#.0]/InDesign Recovery) but there is no Adobe InDesign folder in Cache. For me is would be Users/Library/Caches/ then some misc apple folders. If I can find the recoveery folder I can try the tutorial.

  1. You start a new file.
  2. You work on this file - you do Save every few minutes - depends on the number / severity of changes.
  3. At the end of the day you do Save As with a new name - increased counter, date, whatever.
  4. Next day - you open this copy and work on it. 
  5.  You repeat steps 2 to 4.

 

So every day you work on the last version from the previous day - after Save As. 

 

At the end of the week - or month - delete some of the files but leave some - just in case. 

 


I understand, I will make sure to try this from now on. Although it's unfortunate the lost data may not ever be recovered, thank you so much for your time and help in showing how this can be prevented in case another crash happens. Have a great rest of your week!
