Sas Program Code Lost after Error SAS OnDemand for Academics

Hello,

I'm using SAS Studio from SAS OnDemand for Academics. I exceed my data storage limit and an error occured. As a consequence half of the code from one of my SAS programs is missing now. Is it possible to get an old Version of this Sas Program back? Is SAS doing any kind of backups? Or do someone has any other idea how I can get my Code back?

Thanks a lot!

Ask SAS technical support if they have backups of user data and can do a restore.

This would only be possible if your program was saved to a .sas file before the backup window/snapshot occurred. But I do not know how SAS handles that aspect of On Demand.

For critical work, always do a download to your local computer, and use cloud storage (OneDrive, Dropbox, whatever you have) to be o the safe side.
