recover lost EG project

[Hema_12]

Hi All,

I have lost my EG project but somehow i recovered in /users/myname/Appdata/local/temp/13 with some .tmp file but after open it it not in human readable format.

Please help to conver that tmp657.tmp to .egp or .sas.

Thanks in advance.

EG project files are zip archives. Open the file with a compression utility (eg 7zip) and see if you can find something.

Thanks Krut,

Ouch. That one is lost for sure. I've seen this happen with project files stored remotely, where the server connection dropped while the project was open. Only solution was to restore from the backup.

Can you please guide me how to restore it from the back up? I lost it too. Thank god I have a backup.

Study the manual(s) of your backup software, or have your system admins do the restore for you.

I am new in SAS and I guess I am a system admin. I recovered it by clicking at top of workbook, there were a message saying 'recover last file'. I ran the project it worked. But its location is different and the project has .(Recovered) extension. Is there any way to save it in its original location which is one of the folders and without .(Recovered) extension?

[Kurt_Bremser]

As soon as you have the project back in EG, do File - Save as.

My question is n the attachment with screenshots.

[Kurt_Bremser]

You can save both versions under different names and keep them for reference, and use one as the base for further development.

Thank you very much for your time!

@Kurt_Bremser already gave you the answer to that - Use File Save As after opening the project.
