Vegas 20 crashed without any bak file saved.

Today Vegas 20 crashed for the first time after editing a video for a couple of hours. I thought, no problem, its autosaving backup files. Autosave option is checked. But I looked in my .veg project directory, and the last .bak file was created yesterday. All todays' work is lost. Ive been using Vegas 20 for a couple of months, this is the first time it has crashed, so I wasnt too wary about backups and clicking SAVE once in a while. Whats up with autosave? and why no option to specify how often it saves?

Look in your temporary files folder for backups, not the project files folder.

Ok. Well, indeed they should be in my temp folder. I didnt know about advanced backup options, so autosave should be saving backups to temp files folder. Under temp/magix/ups, i do see several temp files that were created today. But they are .log files. What am I looking for? .veg.bak?What I have found so far is .log text files.

@Jimigune Hi, did you look in C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\VEGAS Pro\20.0
