Accidentally hidden all tracks??
It's somewhat infantile to write a post like that with no description of the possible "catastrophy".

Kalle - that is why we have been sort of dumping on him - a whine-o-gram, followed by non-responsive dribble, followed by silence.

Silence of the Lame?  Could be a movie concept here-----

I just use Windows Backup that is part if Windows 7.

Here is some text from a Microsoft Answers post - from a MS engineer:

Hi Southern Sunshine,
 
The backup Windows 7 follows is incremental backup. Windows Backup will add new or changed information to your subsequent backups. If you're saving your backups on a hard drive or network location, Windows Backup will create a new, full backup for you automatically when needed.
 
Refer the below links to know how Windows 7 backup and restore process works:

How does Windows choose which files to back up?:[link=http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/How-does-Windows-choose-which-files-to-back-up]http://windows.microsoft....which-files-to-back-up[/link] "


It initially does the whole shooting match (full), then only the delta.  I also have it do a system image - creates an image of the Windows files needed to boot.


On my system, I have it set to run every Sunday night, at 11:00 PM, and it runs less than an hour, on average.

Sorry to little coffee in me, what I meant to say was deltacopy, not delta backup. Deltacopy needs a client/server so if say you have a 2 gig file and it's only changed by a few kb's, only that part is picked out and sent across the network, client tells the server what part has changed and the destination is patched with only those bits instead of moving 2 gigs over the network.

Well, if you look at your picture, you can clearly see that you only use two fingers for typing.

Maybe that's what is causing the typo's.  :)

Thanks for clarifying - yes you are correct,

Bob Bone

If you come from the early days of the 1980s computing you are automatically in the save constantly  mode. As well as saving as versions, have auto-save on and use a scheduled backup program to back up all the files up to another drive.

*Raises hand* My left hand is in a constant state of ctrl+s for life.

Same here, same here....

Especially when I do something to a mix I can't reverse like accidentally holding the CTRL key without a quick group selected and moving a fader. All the faders end up moving and there is no way to undo that level of damage. I just close the project and load my last auto saved version and I'm good to go.

I never thought of that solution...good advice Eric

Well, it happened. The unthinkable. The horrible. The "It could never happen to me" happened.  All of my tracks, all of
them just disappeared from track view. That great searing lead line that I put down last Thursday, gone. That wonderful
syncopated synth line from last week, gone too. All my drum programming, the clever Bass line that added so much, all
gone. How could this happen to me. All the hours and hours tweaking and refining, all gone now. Sonar X2, where did we go wrong??
 
I know, I'll take complete responsibility for it.  It's all my fault. My fault for believing in you Sonar. My fault for thinking
Sonar could compete with all the other DAW's out there. Does this happen to Pro Tools users? Does this happen to
Cubase users? Something tells me I had better find out.
 
I promise myself I will never let this this happen to me again. I'm through with you my dear. I want a divorce. This is
unacceptable. This is where I draw the line. It is time for me to DUMP SONAR.  Your behavior Sonar is so unprofessional.
If you want to play in the big leagues Sonar, then you must perform worthy of that stature. You are a phony Sonar. You
deny yourself greatness by your results and your results stink. You have sunk so low that you have even lost me.
 
Dear Sonar, I can't change you, I can only change me. So that is where I stand. My last stand. Goodbye.

Every DAW has issues, and every update/upgrade of every DAW has issues. I know, I pretty much have used them all at one point or another on both Mac and PC. In 2007 I migrated full time to PC music production and started music Sonar. It's been the best and most productive music software I've ever used and I've owned two turn key Pro-Tools TDM systems (digidesign is a nightmare if ever there was one - you don't know pain, until your deep into digidesign). 

So, good luck and may you find the right software for you, but I imagine that you will experience similar if not worse frustrations with whatever software you chose. My suggestion is to pick a horse and ride it. You're almost always better learning the quirks of one software really well, than jumping around. 


But than again, I've jumped ship on Pro-Tools, Logic, Cubase, Live and Digital Performer... Sometimes I contemplate going back to Cubase, but then I read their user forums and decide I'm better off where I am... You might also want to go to some platform agnostic sites like Gearslutz and see what those users say... plenty of frustrating experiences on ALL DAWs...


YMMV... 

in the original statment of the op,i cant believe he says its his fault for trusting sonar...lol
projects just dont disapear man.

It's amazing - the project just totally disappeared right after he hit the delete key in Windows Explorer.
